Francesco Savani

Francesco Savani (1723–1772) was an Italian painter of quadratura painter of the Rococo period.
Despite his father's intentions that Francesco school himself in letters and sciences, the youth entertained himself by drawing portraits of his teachers. His first training was with the Brescian painter Angelo Paglia, then Francesco Monti who had come from Bologna to paint in the Chiesa della Pace. Ultimately his style, came to reflect Giambattista Pittoni. Savani's works at Coccaglio were admired by Tiepolo. Savani died impoverished.
