Pietro Marchioretto

Pietro Marchioretto (1763 or 1772[1] – May 20, 1828) was an Italian painter, mainly of rural landscapes, in a late Baroque style.

Biography

He was born in Lamone, Feltre. Against his parents' wishes, he decided against farming, and at the age of 13 he sought work in painting. He traveled to Bassano and Castelfranco. But while working in the estate of Pietro Ciuran, he came to the attention of Lazarini, presumably Giovanni Andrea Lazzarini. During his career, he traveled through Veneto and Lombardy, Germany, Tyrol, and even Russia. He returned to Valsugana, he married Elizabeth Franceschi Telve, and continued to paint locally.[2]
