It is exactly in this costume that Lodovico has been represented by Bonifazio in a picture of the Massacre of the Innocents.

The bravo there stands with his back partly turned, gazing stolidly upon a complex scene of bloodshed.

He wears a crimson velvet mantle, scarlet cap and white feather, scarlet stockings, crimson velvet shoes, and rose-colored silk underjacket.

His person is that of a gallant past the age of thirty, high-complexioned, with short brown beard, spare whiskers and moustache.
He is good to look at, except that the sharp set mouth suggests cynical vulgarity and shallow rashness.

On being arrested in Milan, Lodovico proclaimed himself a privileged person _( persona pubblica)_, bearing credentials from the King of England; and, during the first weeks of his confinement, he wrote to the Emperor for help.
