This death is reported in Santa Caterina parish. Since Giovanni is described as 28 years old, he was thus born circa 1765. He had a sister named [[Maria Grazia Ruffino]].

 Sassari's atti notarili report "Geronimo Ruffino" to be alive on March 24, 1775, but describe him as deceased on July 4, 1775. His death therefore took place between these two dates.

 Circumstantial evidence suggests a connection between this painter and our ancestor [[Domenico Ruffino]]. Both men were painters, both men were active in Sassari in the 1750s, and Domenico gave his daughters the same name as Gerolamo's mother.

+The Life and Career of Gerolamo Rufino, Neapolitan Painter
-Note: 'TT' below indicates Tomaso Tuccone, the bibliotecario of Budduso, as the source of the report.
+== In Sassari: 1700s? 1730s ==
+Everything we know about Gerolamo suggests a public career in Sassari starting in the 1730s. But some publicly available sources mistakenly date some of his artistic works to the early 1700s. We present those references here, at the start of this article, while noting that the record of his life only becomes secure circa 1734. Gerolamo appears alive in the atti notarili of Sassari during a period from 1739 to 1775.
