The Life and Art of Giuseppe Diotti
Francesco Giuseppe Antonio Diotti was an Italian painter of the Neoclassic style. Born in Casalmaggiore, he began his training as an apprentice to Paolo Araldi before studying at the Academy of Fine Arts of Parma under Gaetano Callani. His early career involved small decorating jobs and sign-painting. Later, Diotti arrived in Milan, where he learned from the luminosity and sense of colour found in Emilian fresco painting practiced by Andrea Appiani. In 1804, a scholarship allowed him to study in Rome under Vincenzo Camuccini.
