Biography
Bevilacqua was apparently born in Milan to a carpenter named Pietro. By 1481, he was noted under the patronage of Duke Francesco Sforza. He signed in 1485 a fresco depicting Saints Roch, Sebastian, and Christopher and perhaps also completed a Madonna and Saints with Donors for the parish church of Landriano.[2]
