Alessandro dal Borro

Marchese Alessandro dal Borro (22 April 1600 – 2 December 1656, Corfu) was a Tuscan nobleman, general and military engineer. He became a Field Marshal of the Holy Roman Empire amongst other honours. He is now most famous for his possible depiction in the painting Portrait of a Gentleman, often discussed in relationship to the history of obesity, though debates over the sitter's identity and the artist continue.
