Carlo Arienti

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlo Arienti (1800- 3 April, 1873) was an Italian painter. He was born in Bologna, and trained in the Brera Academy. He was a professor of art in the same academy, when he was commissioned to paint the staircase of the royal palace in Turin with a depiction of the victory of the Italian army over the Austrians. This exiled him from Milan, but he was made president of the Academia Albertini in Turin, then of the art academy in Bologna.
