Federico Agnelli

Federico Agnelli (1626–1702) was an Italian intaglio printer, engraver and typographer, active in Milan.

He engraved with the architect Carlo Butio a set of plates representing the Cathedral at Milan.

[1] He was the founder of the Milanese typography, which was called after his family name and his descendants held this shop in Santa Margherita for almost three centuries.

The engraving activity actually prevailed over the strictly editorial one: here we should mention the printing of The Lent of Fr.

For the production of religious works he had the protection of ecclesiastical authority, and on 11 May 1694 Brother Innocenzo, prior of the Certosa di Pavia and Minister General of the Carthusians, declared him, together with his wife and children, the meritorious of the Order.
