Scipione de' Ricci (1741 – 1810) was an Italian Catholic bishop of Pistoia, from 1780 to 1791, sympathetic to Jansenist ideas in theology. With the support of Leopold I, Grand Duke of Tuscany, he attempted religious reforms, backed by the 1786 Synod of Pistoia. There were models in Austrian Febronianism, and French Gallicanism.
These moves however foundered, faced with eventual opposition from Pope Pius VI. Ricci had to leave Tuscany in 1790, as opposition grew. In 1805 he submitted to Pope Pius VII.
