A painter who rece
ived his training in Bologna around the middle of the fourteenth century, in close contact with \b \cf4 \ATXht1040 Vitale da Bologna\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 . Later he worked in Genoa, a city with deep roots in the Byzantine tradition and it is to this influence
that we can ascribe the artistÆs numerous panels in a sumptuous and extremely archaic style. In 1380 he was in Pisa, where he had been summoned to complete the \i Scenes from the Life of Saint Ranier\i0 in the Camposanto, though he did not fulfill the
commission. His work had a very wide influence, from Liguria and Piedmont as far as Siena, the coasts of Catalonia and Sicily.
