Giovanni Angelo Borroni

Giovanni Angelo Borroni (1684 – 1772) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque and early-Neoclassic periods, active mainly in Milan and Cremona.

He was the pupil of the painter Angelo Massarotti, and afterwards of Robert de Longe.

On leaving those masters he was patronized by the noble family of Crivelli, and was employed some years in ornamenting their palace.

In the Cathedral of Milan he painted St. Benedict in the act of interceding for the city.

[2] He also painted a Glory of the Saint (1755) for the cupola of the church dedicated to San Omobono of Cremona.
