Bernini’s siblings

B’s siblings in order given by Fagiolo/IAP 18 but with mistakes: Terzaghi prints 1609 parish Easter census which gives most of their ages; reprinted by Kessler 2005

6 males:  Giovan Lorenzo, Francesco, Vincenzo, Ignazio, Luigi, Domenico

7? females: Dorotea, Beatrice, Eugenia [d. 1669 Bartoni 2012, 108; named after Caterina’s mom, as per note in Chantelou, e.143], Giuditta, Camilla, [Maria Angelica, Anna Maria: wrong: see your Dom note.] + Agnese (died 1609, Oct: eldest).

–NB on this census there is no “c” (“communicato”) next to Pietro’s name: that means he had not fulfilled his Easter duty (of confession and Holy Communion): not a practicing Catholic?
