or CIGOLI, (Lewis), an Italian painter, whose family-name was Gardi, was born at the castle of Cigoli, in Tuscany, in the year 1559. His success here, which he performed as a trial of skill with Barocchio and Michael Angelo da Caravaggio, was judged better than those executed by them. He excelled in designing, and was employed by the popes and princes of his time. He died at Rome in 1613.
