a painter of religious subjects, who flourished about 1650, was a native of Foligno. He was a pupil of Guido Reni, and wrought in the churches of the Romagna. Lanzi says there are several of his works at Gubbio, and mentions particularly a Dead Christ. But little is known of him. See Lanzi's Hist. of Painting, transl. by Roscoe (Lond. 1847, 3 volumes, 8vo), 1:460; Spooner, Biog. Hist. of the Fine Arts (N.Y. 1865, 2 volumes, 8vo).
