biography
Alessandro Ricci came from a family of artists who worked in Fermo for almost two centuries in the service of the local nobility and the church. As the son of Filippo Ricci (1715–1793) he ran the workshop founded by his great-great-uncle Ubaldo in Fermo until his death.
He was a pupil of his father and after his death spent two to three years in Rome before returning to his hometown. Stylistically he is influenced by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo , Francesco Trevisani and Antonio Zanchi
