I see a good deal of turn-of-the-twentieth-century speculation and investments in propriety that this article might shed to its advantage. I'd fix it myself if I had seen Andrée Hayum's published thesis, Giovanni Antonio Bazzi--"Il Sodoma" (1976) --Wetman 20:26, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

It does seem a little coy that the only explicit definition for "il Sodoma" in the article is "the Trainer" - this far-fetched explanation, from R. H. Cust (who went in for a bit of "training" himself), is overly prude.

[edit] "Martino Spanzotti"

The anonymous change to Martino Spanzotti for Il Sodoma's master is correct. --Wetman 07:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

A minor painter, one known painting, notable only as the unimportant but earliest master of Sodoma, he is sufficiently served in a footnote. --Wetman 03:54, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the following link

This is a very bad site indeed—bad, even as bed+breakfast sites go. Two of the references I could find to Sodoma were hidden away where no normal reader would spot them. (e.g. [1].) Please don’t try to reinstate this link without justifying it on this page! —Ian Spackman 14:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
