Ricciuto, Il redirects here.

AGRESTI, Livio, called Il Ricciuto. - Mannerist painter from Forlì, whose year of birth is unknown; d. in 1580. He had as his master Francesco Mensocchi, heir to the art of Parmigianino and Dosso, and was in contact with Luca Longhi in Ravenna before coming to Rome, where he came under the influence of Raphael's late works. His subjects are exclusively religious: his first dated work is a Crucifixion for Amelia (1557). He subsequently painted in Forlì, Ravenna, Terni, Narni, and Rome (Sala Regia of the Vatican Palace [1561], S. Caterina de' Funari, Oratory of the Gonfalone, etc.). His style does not depart greatly from the late followers of the Roman tradition.
