Pietro Calzetta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pietro Calzetta (active 1470-1500) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance. He was son-in-law of Montagnana and a pupil of Squarcione. He painted in the chapel of Corpus Christi at the San Antonio of Padua. In 1470 he restored some works of Stefano of Ferrara, and in the same year he contracted to work with Montagnana and Matteo del Pozzo at the decorations of the Cappella Gattamelata in Padua. Up to 1500 he was still employed in that church, where he also painted an Ecce Homo for another of the chapels.
