In Fermo and Lucia Innominato (Conte del Sagrato here) met Borromeo when he was 15.
Here to just remark they got a Shoujo teen romance before parting ways and the Conte still remember his eyes after 50+ years.
(Such Amor Cortese coded omg)
Also here to remind that both in Manzoni and IRL the Cardinal had always been handsome.
(His own biographies says so thank you Rivola and Ripamonti)
