Palagi drawn this refined and unpublished sheet in Milan around 1822. Together with three other sheets dedicated to as many episodes of Ugolino's history, a "calco" (a transparency copie) of it is kept in the Archiginnasio collection in Bologna. In the same year, our drawing was engraved by Gallo Gallina and shortly after commented by the critic Giuseppe Rovani on the pages of the "Gazzetta di Milano".
