Paul Cermenati was involved in multiple firms. Boston directories include listings for Cermenati & Monfrino (1806), Cermenati & Bernarda (1807), and Paul Cermenati (1809-1810).    "Study of Boston directories previous to 1806 reveals no mention of either Cermenati or Mon Frino. In 1806, however, both names appear in conjunction. The address is given as 2 State Street. In 1807, the directory indicates a change. The firm name was now Cermenati & Bernardo, but the address was the same. In 1809, [there is] a Paul Cermenati?Ǫat 64 Cornhill. This Paul may?Ǫhave been the...partner of Mon frino and of Bernardo; but he is doubtless other than the Newburyport manufacturer of the same surname. The presence in Boston, during the early part of the nineteenth century, of Italians who were carrying on the enterprises of some artistic significance is perhaps worth of note."
