Biography edit
Ricci studied at, but did not graduate from, the Accademia di San Luca.[2] Along with artists including Gabriele D'Annunzio, Scipione Vannutelli, Onorato Carlandi, Mario de Maria, Enrico Coleman and Giulio Aristide Sartorio, he frequented the Caffè Greco in Rome.[3][2] He was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites[4][2] and helped found the group In Arte Libertas in 1886.[5]
In 1884, he exhibited Desideri in Turin; the following year, he exhibited Ozio in Rome. Among other works are: Dolce far niente; Costume romano; Ciociara, and Buttero del Lazio.[6] His painting of an organist, titled Mystical music (1866), is in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome[citation needed] along with many of his other pieces.[2]
