Francesco Naselli

Francesco Naselli was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.

When young, he studied the works of the Carracci and Guercino, which he copied with surprising success, but afterwards devoted himself to the manner of his countryman Giuseppe Mazzola.

In the Cathedral there is an altarpiece by him, representing the Nativity; in the church of Santa Maria de' Servi, a large picture of the Last Supper; and in the church of Santa Francesca, the Assumption of the Virgin.

He is said to be the father of Alessandro Naselli, another Ferrarese painter.
