Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing Italian Wikipedia article at [[:it:Sant'Antonio Abate (Moretto)]]; see its history for attribution.

The first possible reference to the work[3] is by Francesco Paglia in 1675 - in writing of Casto he states generally that in "Val Sabria beyond these are seen in some little churches works by Romanino and Moretto".[4] It is impossible definitively to link this reference to specific paintings, but the only one still in this area is Moretto's St Antony the Abbot.[3] Its commissioner is unknown, but was probably the town of Casto - the Santuario was built from 1527 onwards after a vision of the Virgin Mary and the canvas dates to the years immediately after this.[1][3] There is no mention in later sources of the work being moved and so it seems to be on its original site.[3]
