Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: November 19, 1679 (Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani) or in 1693 (Catalogue of the Nationalmuseum; BnF authorities; Treccani's Enciclopedia on line) or November 19, 1693 (Enciclopedia di Roma).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
