(b Florence, 1610). Italian engraver. He is best known for a series of engravings entitled Disegni della guerra, assedio dell’armata turchesca all’Isola di Malta l’anno MDXLV (Bologna, 1631). He also produced the plates for the monumental work by Sir Robert Dudley (1573–1649): Dell’arcano del mare (Florence, 1646–7), a project that took him 12 years. His style is close to that of Jacques Callot and Stefano della Bella, and his View of Florence during a Festival (1634) is derived from the latter.
