The attribution to Carlo Bononi the "Adoration of the Shepherds" in San Martino, Ferrara, a work formerly ascribed to Bastarolo, promts re-examination of the painter's probable training with Bastianino and of the thorny question of his date of birth, which should be set earlier for reasons of style and patronage, making this painting his first public work. A "cimasa" with "God the Father" (Ferrara, church of the Gesù) makes it posible to reestablish the original site and date of the lost "Flagellation" in the Costabili collection. Other important discoveries are the "Marriage at Cana" in Tàmara, once the pendant of Scarsellino's "Last Supper" (Ferrara, Pinacoteca), and the Cornacervina altarpiece, cited by early sources and considered lost; and two portraits in the same location are compared styllistically to Bononi. In conclusión, he is assigned the autorship of the "Saint Jude the Apostole" in Tucson, a work of the highest quality that prompts reflections on a probable Roman sojourn.
