Pietro or Pierre Ducros (1745 or 1748[1] [conflicting sources; see Talk tab] – Lausanne, February, 1810) was a Swiss-Italian painter and engraver active in Rome[2][3] (Note: this person may possibly be the same man as Louis or Abraham-Louis-Rodolphe Ducros: See topic on Talk tab above.)
He trained in Switzerland, and mainly produced landscapes, moving to Rome as an adult, where he formed a friendship with Giovanni Volpato.
Together, they assembled a series of vedute of the city and surrounding countryside.
The series published probably around 1789 [7][9][10] by Montagnari included vedute of "Palermo, near Monreale"; of the "Theater of Taormina"; of the "Etna volcano"; of the "Amphitheater of Siracusa", of the "Interior of the city of Messina after the earthquake of 1783", and of the "Port of the galleys of the Arsenal of Malta".
