an Italian painter and designer, a native of Brescia, lived in the last half of the 16th century. His style of design was more remarkable than his painting. He succeeded especially in the reproduction of ancient medals. He designed all the marbles in the city of Brescia with their inscriptions. Lanzi speaks of one of the paintings of Aragonese, Our Saviour between two Saints. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
