Giuseppe Pascaletti

He became a portraitist for the Roman nobility, and today is considered one of Cosentino's most prominent painters of the 18th century.

In Rome, Pascaletti joined the academy of Virtuosi al Pantheon, and associated with Sebastiano Conca.

In the early 18th century, Pascaletti painted three notable portraits for the nobility, namely, Giuliano Colonna of Stigliano, I principe of Sonnino, his consort, Princess Giovanna van den Eynde, and their grandson, Marcantonio Colonna, 3rd Prince of Sonnino.

[3][4][1][2] Pascaletti moved back to Calabria in the mid-18th century, where he worked for many churches in several Calabrian towns and cities, including Fuscaldo, Falconara Albanese, Rende, Mendicino and San Lucido.

Pascaletti was also active in his hometown, Fiumefreddo Bruzio, where he married Teresa De Ponzo in 1747.
