Abate Francesco Antonio Chiozzi (1730 - 7 March 1785) was an Italian painter and Franciscan cleric, active mainly in Casalmaggiore, Italy.
Hoping to gain more expertise, he was placed the following year in a studio in Bologna, soon working with Vittorio Bigari, and obtaining commissions to make copies of medallions in the possession of the Aldrovandi family.
In Bologna, his Abraham expels Hagar and Ishmael won a first prize at the Clementine Academy of Fine Arts for figure.
In 1755 he painted a portrait of Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma, to celebrate the naming of Chiozzi's native town as a city.
[5] Returning to Casalmaggiore he painted a Saints Roch, Eurosia, and the Assumption of the Madonna for the church in the frazione of Vicobellignano.
