Biography
Biography
He was born at Cattolica, near Rimini, and was brought up at Bologna, training in that city under Guercino. He then helped complete the quadrature for the Villa Albizzi in Bologna, working with Carlo Cignani. He then moved to Ravenna, where Pronti helped decorate with a mix of quadratura and allegorical figures representing the four known continents in the Rasponi family's palace, Palazzo di San Giacomo, near Russi. He also helped decorate, with oculi with flying putti, the former church of San Romualdo, now a museum in Classe (in the Biblioteca Classense), and formerly a Camaldolese abbey. In Ravenna, he was commonly called "Padre Cesare da Ravenna". He became an Augustinian friar as a young man, and was afterwards principally engaged in painting altarpieces for the churches of his fraternity, of which one of the best is an altarpiece depicting St Thomas of Villanova for Sant'Agostino, Pesaro. He died at Ravenna.
