Giovanni Florimi

Giovanni Florimi or Florini was a 17th-century Italian engraver, active in Tuscany.

He was a pupil of the Flemish engraver Cornelis Galle the Elder. He worked at Siena in 1630. His works consist principally of portraits, and among them, that of Francesco Piccolomini, after Francesco Vanni. He also engraved the frontispiece for the book of Concetti davidici del Pandolfini, published in Pisa in 1655. He also engraved a portrait of Camillo Borghesi, archbishop of Siena and a picture of the Martyrdom of Saint Cecilia.[1]
