Francesco Colelli

Francesco Colelli (1734 - 1820) was an Italian painter, active in Calabria.

Early life

He was born in Nicastro, now part of Lamezia Terme in Calabria.

Career

He painted in a provincial, late-Baroque style which would have been prevalent a century before. He often painted religious frescoes in churches, including a Deposition from the Cross for the church of the Veterana in Cosenza, stolen in 1960.
