Intussen, in het leven van Domenichino
Het hele leven1609
Death of his master Annibale Carracci
After Annibale’s death in 1609 his pupils who kept to the master’s Roman style, Domenichino and Albani among them, lost out to Guido Reni in the race for the most prestigious commissions. According to Malvasia, Domenichino went unrecognised and underpaid, was left without commissions and was forced to beg for work through intermediaries “at any price”.

Leaves Rome for Bologna and Fano
In 1618 (by other accounts 1617) Domenichino left Rome: in Bologna he painted the altarpiece of the Madonna of the Rosary, then settled in Fano, where in 1618–19 he frescoed the Nolfi chapel of the cathedral with scenes from the life of the Virgin.
April, between 1618 and 1621
Marries Marsibilia Barbetti
After settling in Fano, Domenichino returned to Bologna in April to marry Marsibilia Barbetti.
1 April 1621
Appointed architect of the Apostolic Chamber
With the election of the Bolognese pope Gregory XV Domenichino returned to Rome, and on 1 April 1621 he was appointed architect general of the Apostolic Chamber. He built little, leaving designs for the façade of Sant’Andrea della Valle and the plan of Sant’Ignazio, and remained above all a painter, winning commissions for altarpieces in Roman churches.
