Giuseppe Guizzardi

Giuseppe Guizzardi (1779 – July 29, 1861) was an Italian painter during the Neoclassical period.

In 1804, began at the Academy and then moved to Rome in 1809, where he befriended Pelagio Palagi.

In 1823 at Modena, he engraved a book titled Works of Guido Mazzoni and Antonio Begarelli.

He also painted frescoes in a Neo-Etruscan-style, with figures in pink on dark backgrounds, in the Villa Conti la Panglossiana in Bologna.

At the cemetery founded at the Certosa of Bologna, he completed (now lost) works for the funeral monuments of Luigi Berti and Rosalia Velluti Zati; in these he worked alongside Gaetano Caponeri and Luigi Busatti.
