The precocious Giulio trained in Raphael's workshop and soon became a significant collaborator with the master, achieving international stature in his own right after 1520. He built and decorated the Palazzo Te for Federico II Gonzaga (1500-1540), the fifth marchese and first duke of Mantua, where Giulio settled as court artist from 1524 until his death.

Design for the Coat of Arms of a Cardinal with three Angels Attributed to Pietro da Cortona (Pietro Berrettini) Italian Possibly by Giovanni Francesco Romanelli Italian Purchased as Anonymous, Italian, 17th century Italian ca. 1640-60 This vibrant drawing in red chalk depicts the coat of arms of a cardinal, carried by three winged ignudi. While the design appears finished, many pentimenti (changes) have been left visible, especially where it concern the positioning of arms and legs of the figures. The compartment at the center of the cartouche has not been filled with a specific crest, which means that an identification of the project is as of yet not possible. The design of the cartouche suggests a moment of transition from the early Baroque to the more flamboyant designs of the second half of the seventeenth century. Stylistically, the sheet can almost certainly be attributed to Pietro da Cortona, or an artist of the in his circle in Rome during the second quarter of the seventeenth
