Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects
Luzi was born in Todi, and started his painting career as an assistant to Perino del Vaga. He was mentioned by Giorgio Vasari in his "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects" as one of Perino del Vaga's most important assistants, specializing in "grotteschi" and "stucchi". He worked with del Vaga in Castel San Angelo, Rome, and in Palazzo Doria, Genoa. In 1545–1547, both del Vaga and Luzi were listed as master painters with a number of assistants.
