Abstract
Since Tormo, Gusi and Lafuente wrote fray Juan Rizi's monograph in 1930, and Angulo & Perez Sanchez revised years later this study in their book Pintura madrilena del segundo tercio del siglo XVII , very little has been published about the life and work of the Benedictine painter. Furthermore, the Italian journey of Rizi, that involved the last 20 years of his life, has always been an enigma, resolved only in certain aspects, thanks to few news supplied by his biographers and the manuscripts the monk wrote during his staying in the Montecassino abbey. Our recent discovery of 8 new canvases painted by Rizi to decorate the Saints Cosme and Damian's chapel in the main church of Trevi nel Lazio (Frosinone, Italy), as well as the location of several new drawings in the Montecassino and Vatican libraries, will allow us to study his activity as painter in Italy and also to profile, with more accuracy, the history of the last years of his life.

Summary
Since Tormo, Gusi and Lafuente wrote fray Juan Rizi's monograph in 1930, and Ángulo & Pérez Sánchez revised years later this study in their book Pintura madrileña del segundo tercio del siglo XVII, very little has been published about the life and work of the Benedictine painter. Nuestro reciente descubrimiento de ocho nuevos lienzos pintados por Rizi en Italia, para la decoración de la capilla de San Cosme y San Damián de la Iglesia de Santa María Assunta de Trevi nel Lazio, así como el hallazgo de unos 20 dibujos inéditos en las bibliotecas Vaticana y de la Abadía de Montecassino, nos van a permitir, en las siguientes páginas, estudiar, en alguna medida, la actividad pictórica de fray Juan en Italia y establecer, con mayor claridad, la historia de los últimos años de su vida. La bibliografía existente sobre el pintor fray Juan Rizi es, fundamentalmente, la que sigue: Tormo, E., Gusi, C. y Lafuente, E., La vida y la obra de Fray Juan Ricci, Madrid 1930, 2 vol.; Ángulo, D. y Pérez Sánchez, A., Pintura madrileña del segundo tercio del siglo XVII, Madrid 1983, pp. Y respondi que primero eran las constituciones de mi religión, que no permiten reelecciones, fuera de que a mi me hacían mayor honrra en no hacerme maestro de niños, aunque sean tan grandes, y asi contradixe con mas esfuerzo el nombramiento regio, y el señor nuncio de España conociendo mi justicia,firmodicho nombramiento
