A licence was issued to Zenoi on the same day, by the chiefs of the Council of X (ASV, Capi del Consiglio dei Dieci, Notatorio, Registro 21, f.56v ). A month later, 11 January 1566(67), a second licence with the stipulation that Zenoi required to show each print to the Esecutori contra la bestemmia so that they could check there was no obscenity (ASV., C.C.X.N. reg.21, f.65v). 9 September 1568 fined (with Camocio) by the Esecutori contro la Bestemmia, for obscene prints and sonnets found in Camocio's shop (Pesenti).
