Pignatti said that she had herself seen Edgardo during his illness, and Marianna sitting by the crib—"Since his mother was crying, and despaired for his life, I thought he was dying, also because of his appearance: his eyes were closed, and he was hardly moving."
Pignatti berkata bahwa ia sendiri menyaksikan Edgardo saat sakit, dan Marianna berada di sampingnya—"Sejak ibunya menangis, dan meratapi hidupnya, aku berpikir bahwa ia sekarat, selain karena penampilannya: matanya tertutup, dan ia sulit bergerak."
