an Italian painter of Reggio, was born in 1548. According to Tiraboschi, he was a good artist, executed some works for the churches of his native city, and painted much for the collections. Lanzi says there remain various pictures by him in private houses, and an altar-piece in the church of S. Giovanni at Reggio; and, judging from his style, he thinks he was a pupil of Lelio, Orsi.
