There is a document in existence stating that in 1588 he executed a
statue for the hermitage of S. Rocco, at Crea, which, if it is to be
relied on, disposes both of the incarceration and of the visit to
Saas. It is possible, however, that the date is 1598, in which case
Butler's theory of the visit to Saas may hold good. In 1590
Tabachetti was certainly at Varallo, and again in 1594, 1599, and
1602. He died in 1615, possibly during a visit to Varallo, though
his home at that time was Costigliole, near Asti.--R. A. S.
{15} This is thus chronicled by M. Ruppen: "1589 den 9 September
war eine Wassergrosse, die viel Schaden verursachte. Die
Thalstrasse, die von den Steinmatten an bis zur Kirche am Ufer der
Visp lag, wurde ganz zerstort. Man ward gezwungen eine neue Strasse
in einiger Entfernung vom Wasser durch einen alten Fussweg
auszuhauen welche vier und einerhalben Viertel der Klafter, oder 6
Schuh und 9 Zoll breit soilte." (p. 43).
