LAUTIZIO (Ital.) of Perugia, is said by Cellini, to have been of great ability, and a clever Seal-engraver. By him is probably a hone-stone medal with portrait of D. Adr. de Ladeuse, Venice, 1522 (described by G. Sparkes in Num. Chronicle 1854, p. 187, n° 5) and a Plaque, with subject in relief of the Adoration of the Magi, in the Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington. Milanesi suggested the attribution to him of two Portrait-medals of Giovan Lodovico Toscani, signed L. P.
