Vittorio Bigari

In 1720 Bigari worked with A. Buttazzoni on the decoration (now disappeared) of the choir of the church of San Nicolò [it] in Carpi; two years later he painted in Rimini the ceiling of the choir of the church of San Agostino (two angels detached are in the Municipal Museum of Rimini).

Also in 1722 began his work for the counts Aldrovandi of Bologna: in the palace (now Montanari) of via Galliera, in collaboration with the quadraturista Stefano Orlandi, he helped decorate the ceiling of the staircase and a room with the mythological tale of Aurora Abandons the Old Titone.

Following the success of these works, Bigari was commissioned to paint the Allegories of the Baths of Porretta on the content of the poet P.I.

In the same period and in the same city, according to Zanotti, he painted an Assumption the chapel of the Bartoli house, which was destroyed in the Second World War.

Zanotti attributed to the period after Faenza the vast and not happy tempera with Apollo who Leads the Virtues to the Temple of Gloria in the Aldrovandi palace in Bologna; an Immaculate Conception, today in the church of St. Eugenio Papa of Bologna, must be considered of these years.
