Giovanni Soncini was a painter from Reggio Emilia Italy who was active in Parma during the Renaissance. It is likely that he was a pupil of Bernardino Zacchetti from Reggio. Soncini was the godfather of Correggio’s second daughter.According to Mary Vaccaro writing in the journal Renaissance Studies Soncini was a minor painter who has been largely and perhaps deservedly forgotten in the history of art. There is only one known signed picture by Soncini.
