Can we change the name of this article from "Luca Cambiasi" to "Luca Cambiaso"?

The only reason I can see that Cambiasi is used here is that this article was largely created from a very old encyclopedia entry that (mistakenly) preferred this spelling to the almost universally accepted Cambiaso.

As evidence for this, Google search for "Luca Cambiaso" generates 109,000 results; search for "Luca Cambiasi" generates 4000.

Also, Cambiaso is used at official sites of the Prado, the Louvre, and the Metropolitan Museum.

Cambiaso is the spelling used for the all articles about the artist found at JSTOR, for example:

•Edward J. Olszewski,"Drawings by Luca Cambiaso as a Late Renaissance Model of Invenzione," Cleveland Studies in the History of Art, Vol. 5 (2000), pp. 20-41. Published by Cleveland Museum of Art •Frederick A. Sweet, "Venus and Cupid by Luca Cambiaso," Bulletin of the Art Institute of Chicago (1907-1951), Vol. 37, No. 1 (Jan., 1943), pp.1-3. •Mary Newcome,"Luca Cambiaso. Austin and Genoa," exhibit review in The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 148, No. 1245, (Dec., 2006), pp. 878-880.

Cambiaso was used for the major exhibit of his work at the Blanton Museum in Austin in 2006 and also in his native Genoa in 2007, and for the definitive catalogue that resulted from these exhibits: Luca Cambiaso: 1527-1585, edited by Jonathan Bober, Trans-Atlantic Publications, Inc. (June 30, 2006).

A search at Amazon for books about Luca Cambiaso comes up with 16 pages of results; I see only "Cambiaso" (never "Cambiasi") in book titles from France, the US, Germany, and (by far the greatest number) Italy.

So I think there is no reason not to change the article to "Luca Cambiaso."

Glad to see Cambiasi had been changed to Cambiaso. I have also changed the spelling for Luca's father and son. Finding references for them is much rarer, but I see the Cambiaso convention for Orazio here at Blanton Museum: http://collection.blantonmuseum.org/Obj16035?sid=168221&x=3034629

And his father's name is given as Cambiaso at this Italian wikipedia page for him: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Cambiaso

I am not finding the Cambiasi spelling for anyone in the family in any modern references.

Thank-you for your detailed rationale and for following up on the changes I did not make.--S Philbrick (Talk) 15:46, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
