Giovanni Giacomo Barbelli

There, he passed his craft to other Lombard centers, where, by alternately treating the technique of oil painting and fresco, he demonstrated skill in drawing and often brilliant color.

He also painted two altarpieces, a Crucifixion and a Circumcision (attributed) for the Sanctuary della Madonna del Pianto in Ono Degno, near Pertica Bassa.

[5] Barbello frescoed Glory of the Magdalen and scenes from her life in the presbytery and apse for the church of Santa Maria Maddalena, Cremona.

[1] In the years 1647-49, Barbelli made the vast fresco decorations in the vaults of the staircase and some rooms in the palace of the Counts Moroni in Bergamo, together with Giovanni Battista Azzola, his first student.

Altarpieces are found in Santi Faustino e Giovita, Brescia and in the parishes of Quintano (Cremona) and Santa Maria Assunta, Ombriano.

Before he completed the large decorative works of the Palazzo Terzi and Palazzo Moroni in Bergamo and the rooms of the castle of Cavemago, Barbelli had already demonstrated excellent knowledge of perspective in painting rooms of Crema and Cremasco buildings, such as in: villa Tensini (now Sabadini), Santa Maria della Croce, Premoli palace in Crema, and villa Vimercati Sanseverino (formerly Benzoni) in Vaiano Cremasco.
