Biography

He was born in Mortara near Pavia.[1] He trained as a pupil of the painter Gaudenzio Ferrari. In Milan, he painted a Last Supper for the church San Nazaro Grande. He painted a Holy family for the church of Sant'Ambrogio, now on display in the Brera Gallery. He painted frescoes on the Life of the Magdalen for the church of San Cristoforo in Vercelli. Three of his works are on display at the Museo Borgogna in Vercelli, including: an Annunciation; a Madonna and Child with Saints Bernardino of Siena and St Francis of Assisi (also labeled Madonna del cane due to dog asleep below Virgin); and a painted standard of Madonna and Child with St Anne and hooded confraternity brothers, painted for the Confraternita di Sant’Anna. Lanini painted a St Catherine for the church San Celso. He frescoed sibyls for the Novara Cathedral. He also painted for a chapel in the Basilica of San Magno, Legnano. Other paintings are in Saronno.

gollark: Phones are mostly getting worse for my preferences, even: weird non-rectangle screens, no headphone jacks, bigger harder to hold screens, even less durability and repairability, battery-sucking fancier displays and more RAM, and an Android more Google-dependent and locked down every version.
gollark: Ah.
