Pietro Capelli or Pietro Cappelli (born circa 1700, died 1724 or 1727[1]) was an Italian painter of the Rococo, active in his native city of Naples.
He was active in quadratura, but also painted capricci and canvases with landscapes.
His father, Giuseppe Capelli, was a scenic designer at the Teatro San Bartolomeo in Naples.
[2] Grossi states that he was so full of imagination, and fast at painting, that he did not even sketch beforehand for his works.
