Abstract
In the Accademia Carrara (Bergamo) an ancient copy of the Portrait of a youth attributed to Raphael is kept, once in the Czartoryski collection in Krakow. This copy comes from the property of a Venice-ba- sed lawyer, Salvatore Orsetti, who in 1804 sold his collection to the museum in Bergamo. The article aims to present the collecting hi- story and the critical fortune of this work of art, analyzing the archival sources and examining the contributions offered by scholars during the 18th and 19th centuries.
