antonio solario
ca. 1465-1530
from one of the earliest roma gypsy settlements in northern italy, solario was born in abruzzo - he was known as "lo zingaro" [the gypsy] and began his life as a traveling smith like his father - but he went on to be one of the most recognized painters of his time - he was a naturalist and his background landscapes were better than any of his contemporaries - the monestary of san severino holds his best known work, a series of twenty frescoes -
