[edit] NPOV tag

Apparently, one more 'translation' of the Italian painter name. Avoiding to list references where this painter is exclusively listed as an Italian painter - yet another reason for the NPOV tag.

Here is a few references mentioning Giorgio Clovio exclusively as the Italain painter [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]

As to the 'famous' tag 'Under Klović's bust, beside his name, is written the name of his homeland, which he always emphasized: Julio Clovio de Croatia.' - it's a nonsense. The tag was added much later (19th century) and not immediately after the painter's death.


During his lifetime (1498–1578) there was no Croatia and the Clovio's birthplace could be only in Hungary. It is ok to mention today's name of his birtplace, but original names coming from that time shall be used on the first place.--GiorgioOrsini 23:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
