SC - Pumpkins in Period?

[Decker, Terry D.]

New World squashes and pumpkins appear in very late 16th Century paintings.
Campi's The Fruit Seller (about 1580) displays two or three varieties which
suggests that they were being marketed, at least in Italy.  A number of
Italian painters included them in still lifes dating from about 1570 to
1620.
