Artist called P. Ricci?

[flobadob]

Has anyone ever heard of an artist called P. Ricci. We have a picture in our house of some old fishing boat with what looks like an Italian city in the background. The name on the bottom right says P. Ricci but I don't see the name come up on google. Has anyone ever heard of this artist?

Not sure DT. There are some slight similarities in those images but if I had to make a choice I would bet against it being his. It is a print onto a wooden type canvas I think. Is there any way to see the way Paolo Ricci signed his pictures to see if it is the same?

just magnify your screen (bottom right corner on IE9) is all I could suggest.

The paintings on the first link don't appear to be signed and the one of the fruit bowl is not the same signature as the one on mine. However I suppose he could have written it differently at different times.
