Rasciotti, Donato (sold) (Rascicotti, Rasicotti, Rosigotti, Rascichotti)
Donato Rasciotti (c. 1572 - 1618), also known as Donato Rascicotti and Rosigotti, was an Italian print publisher, dealer, and printer of Brescian origin, active principally in Venice and possibly also in Bologna and Rome. His Venetian shop stood at the Ponte dei Barettieri, where he traded in maps, topographical views, and other engraved prints. Some scholars identify him with Donato Resegato, a 'printer of drawings' arrested in Rome in 1577 on suspicion of stealing drawings from Antonio Lafreri's workshop, although this identification remains uncertain. On March 7, 1598, Rasciotti obtained a twenty-five-year privilege from the Venetian Senate to publish a new collection of views and topographical prints. His business combined the publication of new engravings with the reuse of existing copperplates. He issued some works by Agostino Carracci in their first states and acquired older plates associated with Tramezzino and Rota, extending their commercial life through subsequent impressions.
