Camillo Gabrielli

Camillo Gabrielli, a native of Pisa, was a scholar of Ciro Ferri. Lanzi states that he was the first who introduced the style of Pietro da Cortona among his countrymen. He painted some oil pictures at the Carmelites, and for private collections; but he was more distinguished for his fresco paintings, which were much esteemed. His principal work was the decorations of the great saloon in the Palazzo Allicata. He died in 1730.
