Scipione Sacco
Scipione Sacco (or Sacchi) (1495–1558) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance, active near or in Cesena.
Life[edit]
Born in the town of Sogliano al Rubicone, in his youth he came into contact with Ramberto Malatesta, Count of Sogliano, and this influenced his artistic and cultural education.[1] However, he and his family were exiled because his father tried to poison Ramberto Malatesta.[2]
He painted a Pope St Gregory for the cathedral of Cesena in 1545.[3] For the church of San Domenico of Cesena, he painted a Death of St Peter Martyr.[4] He is referred to as a likely pupil or strongly influenced by Raphael.[5]
He died in Cesena.
