TJmbrian school ; sou and pupil of Martinet Nelli ; employed at Peru- gia in 1400, and elected consul at Gubbio, 1410. He is best known by the so-called Madonna del Belvedere, in S. M. Nuova, Gubbio. The Virgin of Succour, a wall painting of Madonna with Saints and An- gels, and the choir frescos, Legend of St. Augustiu (about 1420), S. Agostiuo, Gub- bio, are by Nelli and his scholars. His fel- low-pupil, Gentile da Fabriano, probably assisted him in these works, and in painting a fresco of the Virgin and Angels, in S. M. della Piaggiuola, near Gubbio. In 14120 he went to Urbiuo, and in 1424 painted the Legend of the Virgin, a mediocre work, in the Triuci Chapel, Foligno. His mural paintings in S. Piero, Gubbio, were de- stroyed in the last century. Nothing is known of Nelli after 1424.
