Ignazio Fumagalli

This role included preparing the annual inaugural speeches, which often expressed the Accademia's political viewpoints.

During the 1830s, he was an art critic for the literary magazine Biblioteca Italiana [it], and served as one of its Directors.

[1] His most familiar work is a book of engravings and essays; Scuola di Lionardo da Vinci in Lombardia, created from 1808 to 1811.

He also modelled two figures for the Duomo di Milano, representing Saint Bartholomew and Ezekiel.

[2] Some of his engravings were included in the Pictorial and historical journey to the three lakes Maggiore, Lugano and Como by the German engravers Friedrich Lose [de] and his wife, Caroline (1784-1837), who both worked in Milan.
