Gustavo Mancinelli

Gustavo Mancinelli (1842 – 12 April 1906) was an Italian painter in several genres; including landscapes, historical scenes, and portraits.

He was the eldest of seven children born to the painter, Giuseppe Mancinelli, and his wife, Maddalena née Arnoldi.

This included a curtain, depicting Aeschylus at the court of ancient Syracuse, and decorations with scenes from the Eleutherian Festivals.

[1] Four years later, he worked at the Teatro Comunale [it] in Syracuse, decorating the vault of the dome with Daphne, in a forest populated by Nymphs.

He also painted a few altarpieces, including one for the chapel of Saint Augustine in the church of Santa Maria di Piedigrotta.
