The book '<a href="http://bit.ly/qCJhc3" rel="nofollow">Works of Art in the U.S. Capitol Building</a>' has Capellano in New York in 1815 but I can't find reference to him in America prior to this point. I can't seem to find his exact birth and death dates either. Thanks for the inquiry. I'll look into it more. Really great website you have. Great service.

Think most people nowadays credit it to Giovanni Charles Micali. One, do you know anything about this Capelano/Tripoli connection? Two, is this the Capellano you're associating with Godefroy, above? Thanks for any help.
