Description

Ginevra was a silk manufacturer. Among her bequests she left money to the synagogue for lighting, and charity for the Jewish burial and charity society. Stefanie Siegmund suggests that this will may have been written during a pregnancy; Ginevra was still alive and well in April 1612, living in Siena.
