Giuseppe Diotti

After a few years back at Casalmaggiore, he gained stipends to allow him to travel to Rome, where he was strongly influenced by the academic styles of both Gaspare Landi and Vincenzo Camuccini.

He then returned to Milan, and through his friendship with Andrea Appiani, he became a professor in the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo.

Other works by him are a Leonardo da Vinci and Lodovico Sforza and Tobias recovering his Sight.

He also helped decorate, alongside Luigi Sabatelli, the frescoes (1818) at Palazzo Bolzesi in Cremona; the Bath of Venus at Palazzo Locatelli in Bergamo; and four frescoes in the Colleoni chapel in the Cathedral of Cremona.
