Evangelista da Pian di Meleto (circa 1460 – 1549) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period.[https://books.google.com/books?id=R-miKta9sSkC Art and the Augustinian Order in Early Renaissance Italy] edited by Louise Bourdua, Anne Dunlop, page 205.

He was born in Piandimeleto in Umbria. In 1488, he was working along with Giovanni Santi, the father of Raphael, in Piandimeleto. Along with Raphael, he painted the altarpiece of San Nicola da Tolentino for the church of Sant'Agostino in Città di Castello. It was commissioned in 1500 and finished in 1501; now only some cut sections and a preparatory drawing remain.It was later seriously damaged during an earthquake in 1789. Some of the unsigned works of Giovanni Santi may be in fact by Evangelista.[http://www.comune.piandimeleto.pu.it/zf/index.php/musei-monumenti/index/dettaglio-museo/museo/8 Comune of Pian di Meleto], short biography.
