Amico Ricci

Amico Ricci Petrocchini, Petruccini or Petruchini (1794-1862) was an Italian art historian and marquess.

He is most notable for his 1834 Memorie storiche delle arti e degli artisti della Marca di Ancona, the first systematic survey of art history in the Marche.

He also composed a number of cantatas for viola (1862).

Born in Macerata to a noble family from that town, he was a knight of the Ordine Mauriziano and was made a member of Macerata's Accademia dei Catenati as recognition for his "dissertazioni".

He died in Modena.
