Bernardo Minozzi

Minozzi, as well as Carlo Lodi, received their initial training with Angiol Michele Cavazzoni, but soon both were studying under Nunzio Ferrajoli at the Accademia del Nudo in Bologna.

The art merchant Antonio Forni sold his designs to a Zaccaria Sagredo, from the aristocratic family of Venice.

His British patrons included the Job Right, physician for James Stuart, the Old Pretender and a Sir Sean Graham.

In his travels, Minozzi also befriended Marc Antonio Chiarini and Monsu Chamant, architect to Grand Duke of Tuscany.

In 1739 went to Rome for two years painted for a Cardinal Rohan, likely met the landscape painter Paolo Anesi.
