Gian Federigo Bozagni Parmigiano, called Federigo Parmense, made several medals for Paul III, including one with a bird's eye view of Rome, and this medal, showing the ancient town of Frascati, and the new Villa Rufinella built by the Pope. The reverse is listed with different pertraits in both Armand and Bargello catalogues.
