Pisani 7.8.1802 at tea (& J Beccaria)

There were Florentine sculptors called Pisani, I found no evidence of them having visited England. Two Pisanis mentioned in Farington diary 1795 a Count Pisani foreign minister who attended the Royal Academy dinner that year (perhaps Almoro Pisani Nat Arch PRO 31/14/67) and a Pisani who was interpreter for the Turkish ambassador (perhaps Berto Pisani chief dragoman of British Embassy to Turkey in 1810 Nat Arch Fo 352),  Pisani was one of the richest Venetian families also a common Italian name meaning from Pisa
