This memorial fresco of Venceslao Lazzari can be seen in the Palazzo dell'Archiginnasio in Bologna (Piazza Galvani 1), at the base of the "Scalone degli artisti" (Artists' staircase). It was painted in 1601 by Lionello Spada. Nowadays part of the memorial is almost unreadable due to the bad preservation along the years.
The latin inscription reads as follows: "VINCISLAO LAZARO PHILOS. ET MEDICO NOSTRAE AETATIS CLARISSIMO / IN HAC BON. ACADEMIA TRIGINTA IAM ANOS IPSOS / MEDICINAM ORDIN.
