Who is Nicola Filotesio?

Nicola Filotesio was an Italian painter, architect and sculptor of the Renaissance period, active primarily in or near the town of Ascoli Piceno.

A native of the town of Amatrice in the Papal State of Latium, Nicola Filotesio also appears in contemporary records as Cola dell'Amatrice or Cola Amatricius. The son of Mariano Filotesio, he trained with Dionisio Cappelli, painted frescoes at Città di Castello and completed, between 1514 and 1535, works of art in Ascoli Piceno.

The date and place of Nicola Filotesio's birth have been historically recorded, but the year has varied within a nine-year period, having been variously indicated as 1480 and 1489. Similarly, the date of his death and the place are on record, but the year has varied within a twelve-year range, being given as 1547 or 1559.
