Francesco Savani

Francesco Savani (1723 – 4 May 1772) Was an Italian quadratura painter of the Rococo period.

When his father sent him to study letters and sciences at a Jesuit school, he entertained himself by drawing portraits of his teachers.

[1] His first art training was with Brescian painter Angelo Paglia.

He then studied with Francesco Monti, who had come from Bologna to paint in the Chiesa della Pace.

Savani's style ultimately came to reflect that of Giambattista Pittoni.
