Michele Tosini (1503–1577) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance and Mannerist period who worked in Florence.He apprenticed initially with Lorenzo di Credi and Antonio del Ceraiolo but then moved into the studio of Ridolfo Ghirlandaio from whom he acquired the name Michele di Ridolfi or Michele Ghirlandaio. Tosini began painting in the early 16th-century Florentine style of Fra Bartolommeo and Andrea del Sarto (e.g. the Virgin of the Sacred Girdle c. 1525; Florence San Marco).
