context_page_description: Pasquino Corso, also known as Pasquino da Perugia or Pasquino di Sia was a Corsican Condottiero active during the Italian Wars which took place during the first half of the 16th century.
context_section_description: In 1531 he moved to Rome at the service of Pope Clement VII Medici and was appointed colonel (Latin: Miles tribunus) of the corsican militia, which at that time (and until its formal disbanding in 1662) constituted the backbone of the pope's army.
  Pasquino Corso died in Rome on 15 July 1532 and was buried in San Crisogono, the national church of the Corsican nation placed in Trastevere, the rione where most of the Corsican immigrants had settled in the 16th century.
  On the wall of the right nave, near the second column, is a memorial plaque, erected 15 years after his death on the occasion of the death of his daughter Lucrezia, with the following Latin inscription:
  Pasquino Corso Milit. Tribuno rebus - strenue gestis clarissimo qui magnis - partis honoribus magno omnium cum - moerore die XV Julii M. D.
