Pieratti, Domenico
(b 4 Oct 1600; d Rome, 22 May 1656). Italian sculptor. He spent all but the last years of his life in Florence. He worked in marble and stone both independently and in conjunction with his brother Giovanni Battista (1599–1662), who also produced independent works of sculpture but turned increasingly to architecture. Both were apprenticed to the sculptor Chiarissimo Fancelli (d 1632) and then assisted Andrea di Michelangelo Ferrucci (d 1626). From the outset Domenico demonstrated technical ability of a high order and was one of the team of sculptors employed on the architect Giulio Parigi’s renovation and embellishment of Palazzo Pitti and the Boboli Gardens in Florence; he also produced important works for the Barberini in Rome.
