Fabrizio De Magistris (fl. 1595-1602) was an Italian sculptor active in Lombardy between 1595 and 1602.
The artist remains almost unknown and the only certain period of his activity is from 1595 to 1602.
The few surviving works are the thirty-two wooden statues of pioppo in the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Piazza and a gilded wooden Assumption in Gorla Maggiore although it was originally located in Busto Arsizio. [1] [2]
We know, too, that the artist worked with Giovanni Ambrogio Santagostino (author of the wooden choir of Church of San Vittore al Corpo), to make the tabernacle of the Basilica of San Giovanni Battista (Busto Arsizio), now lost in the reconstruction of the church. [3]
De Magistris showed stylistic similarities with artists active in the Milan Cathedral such as Cristoforo Prestinari, Andrea Rinaldi, Pietro Antonio Daverio and Francesco Brambilla.[ citation needed ]

The establishment of the Accademia de i Pittori e Scultori di Roma was approved by papal brief in 1577, and in 1593 Federico Zuccari became its first principe or director; the statutes were ratified in 1607. Other founders included Girolamo Muziano and Pietro Olivieri. The Academy was named for Luke the Evangelist, the patron saint of painters.
As the home of the Pope and the Catholic curia, as well as the locus of many sites and relics of veneration related to apostles, saints and Christian martyrs, Rome had long been a destination for pilgrims. The Via Francigena was an ancient pilgrim route between England and Rome. It was customary to end the pilgrimage with a visit to the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul. Periodically, some were moved to travel to Rome for the spiritual benefits accrued during a Jubilee. These indulgences sometimes required a visit to a specific church or churches. Pilgrims need not visit each church.

The history of Busto Arsizio, according to the hypotheses advanced by some historians and later re-proposed by local history scholars, would have seen its beginnings with the Ligurians. The later presence of the Romans, mentioned by many authors, is shown by the town's urban distribution.
Although it has been characterized in recent centuries as an essentially industrial city, Busto Arsizio counts among its most valuable buildings the numerous monuments of an ecclesiastical nature, testifying to the deep religiosity of its people. Of particular note are the Sanctuary of Santa Maria di Piazza, the Basilica of St. John the Baptist, and the Church of San Michele Arcangelo.
