Aimone Duce (also called Aimo Dux and Dux Aymo; fl. 1417–1444) was an Italian painter active at the court of Savoy-Acaia. He was a native of Pavia, in Lombardy. Although few of Aimone's works survive, and records of his life and art are scant, he is much studied in Piedmont art history.[1] A late gothic painter, his works are considered to be of high quality by Piedmont art scholars, showing the influence of his Lombardian origins and probable training.[2][3] Aimone was a contemporary of Giacomo Jaquerio and they had the patronage of the lords of Savoy in common.[1]
Works of Aimone are known at three locations. Major fresco cycles are painted in two churches of the Pineroloese: The Cappella di Missione at Villafranca Piemonte and the Cappella di Santa Maria Assunta[a] in the hamlet of Stella at Macello. A third, less extensive, fresco is in the church of San Pietro at Pianezza.[3][1]

The chapel is also known as 'Santa Maria della Stella', because it is located in the hamlet of Stella, near the provincial road 159 (Vigone-Pinerolo).

The chapel of Santa Maria Assunta, commonly known as the Cappella di Stella, from the name of the hamlet of Macello in which it stands, dates back to the beginning of the fifteenth century and consists of a presbytery with a square plan, surmounted by a cross vault and a rectangular nave. [...] Among the oldest frescoes are those of Aimone Duce, a painter active in the first half of the 1400s at the court of Savoy-Achaia.
