LUCENTI or LUCINI, GIROLAMO (Ital.). Sculptor, Medallist and Mint-engraver at Rome, circ. 1668-1690; pupil of Cav. Algardi, became Assistant-engraver in 1668 under Gasp. Morone. He worked principally for the Popes Clement X., Innocent XI., and Alexander VIII., and also for Sa. Maria di Monte Santo. As a rival of the Hameranis, he did not however attain their fame. His statue of an Angel with the nails of the cross on Sant' Angelo Bridge at Rome is no mean work. For his accomplishments as an artist he was raised to the knighthood by Clement X. Lucenti engraved many dies for medals and coins which bear his signature in various forms: G. L. ; — EQ. HIER. LUCENTI ; — EQ LVCENTI ; — EQV. HIER. LVCENTI ; - EQVES LVCENTI ; — LV. F. &c. I have made a note of the following coins and medals by him : Coins. Clement X. (1670-1676). Scudo, an II, R. Clementia et Liberalitas (2 var.); — an IV, R. Pius V. kneeling and receiving from an angel the news of the victory of Lepanto (2 var.); — 1675, Jubilee R. The Porta Santa (sev. var.) ; and probably some of the subsidiary coinage of that Pontiff, unsigned. — Innocent XI. (1676- 1689). Scudo, an I, R. St. Matthew seated. Medals. Clement X. Portrait-medal, 1670. R. ROMA RESVRGENS; — An IV, INTERCEDITE PRO NOBIS.

Portrait-medal (cast) ; no R. (signed : LVCENTI). — Alexander VIII. (1689-1691). Medal of 1690. R. NON PR?VALEBIT. Religion trampling upon hydra (signed : LV. F.). Lucenti had two sons, the elder, AMBROSIUS, who distinguished himself as a founder in metal, and the younger, LYBERIUS, who was a lawyer.
