Fulgenzio Mondini

Fulgenzio Mondini (17th-century) was an Italian painter of the Baroque era.

He was born at Bologna, and was active there in 1658. He excelled in delineating historical subjects, and studied under Guercino. He painted some frescoes depicting Life of St Anthony of Padua for San Petronio.

Malvasia speaks very highly of Mondini. Mondini painted figures for Giacomo Alboresi in frescoes.[1] The painter died in Florence, where he was working for Marchese Capponi in his villa at Colonnata, in the prime of life.[2]
