Giuseppe Craffonara

[2] During the Roman period he was active in the contemporary laboratory at the Chiaramonti Gallery in the Vatican Museums.

Between 1824 and 1830 he made numerous trips from Rome, linked to subsequent commissions received in Trentino.

Towards the end of 1830 Craffonara definitively returned to his homeland and completed the altarpiece of the Assumption for the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Riva del Garda and the controversial frescoes of the Via Crucis for the cemetery in Bolzano.

[4] In 1835 he renounced the post of director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague due to health problems.

[5] Among his works is also worth mentioning a canvas preserved in the church of San Tommaso Apostolo in Padaro di Arco.
