Biography

The church of Sant'Ansano of Spoleto has a main altarpiece depicting Martyrdom of Sant'Ansano by Ricci. The portrait of the envoy Hasekura Tsunenaga of Japan near Pope Paul V, commissioned to Ricci in 1615 for the cardinal Scipione Borghese, was found at Rome's Palazzo Borghese. In the Church of San Nicolo in Montecastrilli in Umbria, Archita Ricci helped fresco the Cospani Chapel (1626).[2]
