Giuseppe Soleri Brancaleoni (1750–1806) was an Italian painter, active mainly in Rimini, painting sacred subjects.
[1] Soleri is best known for having painted a venerated image of the Madonna della Misericordia (1796) found in the church of Santa Chiara in Rimini.
[2][3] Pope Pius IX is said to have ordered investigations of the miracle by the Soleri painting.
[4] That painting was said in 1796 to have moved its eyes; reports of Marian miracles increased in number in the months after the Napoleonic occupation of Northern Italy.
[5] Soleri also painted an Assumption of the Virgin for the church of Santa Maria in San Giovanni in Marignano[6] and Madonna della Consolazione, now in Museo di Saludecio e del Beato Amato.
