About 1517 he assumed the title of De Corticellis or Cu- ticelli, from his father's native village near Brescia ; af- terwards called Sacchiensis or De Sacchis, and lastly Regillo or Licinio. His descend- ants took the name of Regillo. A pupil of Pellegrino, he learned at Venice to imi- tate Palma and Giorgione, and in his sub- sequent career acquired something from Correggio, Titian, Raphael, and Michelan- gelo. At his best he remained second to Titian, and when careless he sank to a still ! lower level. Pordeuoue executed many frescos in Friuliau churches, most of which have greatly suffered from time and by res- toration. In 1528 he went to Venice and decorated the tribune of S. Rocco with frescos, no longer extant. Two pictures on panels by him are in this church : St. Martin and St. Christopher. The next year Pordenoue painted several compositions in chapels of the Madonna di Campagua, Pia- cenza, now much injured, and subsequently executed frescos in the palace of Andrea Doria, Genoa, and in S. Pietro, Treviso. He also finished a Trinity for Santissima Trinita, San Daniele, and began for the Du- omo of Pordenone an altarpiece, Glory of St. Mark, which, though unfinished, shows great talent. In 1535 King John of Hun- gary sent him a patent of knighthood ; and 4WI
