His name prior to entering the Augustinan order was Remigio Enrico Policarpo.
[1] Levoli was a pupil of Ubaldo Gandolfi, director of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna since 1761.
[2] He entered mendicant life on January 29, 1747, in Bologna, in the convent of San Giacomo Maggiore.
By 1769, he had been associated with the convent of San Agostino in Rimini, where he lived till the suppression in 1797 after the French occupation.
Zauli Naldi (1961) attributed three still lifes in the Ongaro collection of Milan to Levoli, but the attribution was changed to a follower of Levoli's style, the nobleman from Rimini, Ludovico Soardi, (born 1764).
