 At the same time, this technique may also imply a connection between Bonasone and Giovanni Battista Scultori.Similar skills and forms are found in Bonasone's and Scultori's engravings after Giulio Romano.Since Scultori was engraving in Mantua in the early 1540s and most of his prints date from around 1543, it is likely that Bonasone paid a trip to Mantua and learnt from Scultori.
