Giovanni Breviglieri

Giovanni Breviglieri (18th century, died 1755) was an Italian painter, active in Bologna painting history and sacred subjects. It is notable that biographers refer to the painter as dying with odor of sanctity or in a concept of piety (concetto di Pieta), underscoring a reputation as a blessed man.[1][2]
