Giovanni Monti
Giovanni Monti was an Italian landscape painter, mainly active in Ferrara and Rome. He was born in Maiano near Fusignano and was a nephew of the poet Vincenzo Monti. Some of his works were acquired by the Ateneo de Ferrara, and two small tondi by Monti were included in the Costabili collection. He should not be confused with two earlier Italian painters, Giovanni Battista Monti of Genoa or Giovanni Giacomo Monti of Bologna.
