Valentino Rovisi
Valentino Rovisi (December 1715 in Moena – 12 March 1783 in Moena) was an Italian painter in a late Baroque style. Biography Born to a comfortable merchant of wood in the Trentine valleys, he trained with a variety of local masters including Martino Gabrielli, but by the age of 12 years, he was sent to apprentice in Venice. In Venice, he stayed for five years. It is suspected that Valentino had contacts with the studio of Tiepolo. By 1734, he was home in Moena, but returned to Venice from 1743 to circa 1752. The second stay in Venice finds him frequently in the studio of Tiepolo. He married in Venice and three of his four children were born there. His fourth child was baptized on 18 April 1755 in Moena. By 1758 he was residing there. In 1759 he painted frescoes in Cembra, the first for the church of San Rocco no longer exist, but the curiously unthreatening ''Last Judgement'' frescoes in the church of San Pietro remain.
