Costanzo Angelini

Costanzo Angelini (22 October 1760, Santa Giusta, Rieti - 22 June 1853, Naples) was an Italian painter, engraver, and restorer of the Neoclassical style.

When he moved to Naples in 1790, he became popular for his Neoclassic paintings, and is known for having engraved the Greek Vases of the Hamilton collection (1795).

Later, he became a professor of design with the Real Accademia delle Belle Arti of Naples and, in 1841, he was named their secretary.

Filippo Balbi, Michele de Napoli and Giuseppe Marsigli were among his pupils.

His son, Tito Angelini, became a sculptor who followed the Neoclassic-Romantic style of Antonio Canova.
