Gaetano Gigante

His artistic training took place in the workshops of Giacinto Diano at the Royal Academy of Design.

His first work in that style depicted a banquet held by the legionnaires of Joachim Murat, commissioned by the Palace of Caserta.

From 1818 to 1822, he was involved in creating a series of frescoes, with scenes from the story of Mary and Jesus, at the church of Santa Maria di Piedigrotta.

[4] He presented three works at the Museo Borbonico in 1830, and two more in 1833, which were awarded a silver medal.

He was the father of Giacinto Gigante, named after his teacher; one of the founders of the School of Posillipo.
