Cecrope Barilli

Born in Parma, as a young man he joined the forces fighting for Italian independence at the Battle of Palestro.

Afterwards he moved to Florence, where he was influenced by the Macchiaioli painters, then to Paris where he frequented the studio of Gustave Doré.

He frescoed the prefecture and council hall of the Municipal Palace of Parma.

His son Latino (1883–1961) was also a painter, while his other son Bruno (1880–1952) was an actor and music composer, father of Milena Pavlović-Barili, most notable female artist of Serbian modernism.
