Description
Vincenzo Torreggiani (or Torrigiani), was an Italian painter and draftsman, known for his perspective views. Born in Budrio, he worked in Florence, Rome and Bologna. The quadratures — frescoed wall paintings — in the Palazzo Panciatichi, Tuscany, are attributed to him, and he painted a perspective view for the cloister of the Church, Convent and Museum of St. Joseph of the Cappuccini in Bologna.
