Bernardo Castello (or Castelli) (1557–1629) was an Italian painter of the late-Mannerist style, active mainly in Genoa and Liguria.
[1] Bernardo Castello was born in San Martino d'Albaro [it], now a quarter of Genoa.
He was apprenticed under Andrea Semino and Luca Cambiaso, then travelled throughout Italy, meeting other painters and creating his own particular style.
Beside working in Genoa, Castello was employed in Rome and worked also for the Duke of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel I. Bernardo Castello died in October 1629 aged seventy-two years following a short illness, as he was about to go to Rome, where he had been requested to paint a picture for St. Peter's Basilica.
