Talk:Francesco Laurana/Archive 1

Primary source
I have added the links where Laurana is considered an "italian sculptor", I have selected the more important references. The life of Laurana was entirely unknown until 1880 and he is an artist with a poor documentation but if there are different visions about his origin it's better to indicate the sources also because we are asserting something different from other important sources and Wikipedia cannot be a primary source. --Ilario (talk) 21:12, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
