Giacomo Anziani (Ravenna, 1681 - 1723) was an Italian architect, painter, and engraver, active in a late-baroque style.[1]

Biography

He was a follower of Carlo Cignani. He made paintings of Santi Mauro, Placido, and San Felice with the Virgin for the now extinct church of San Giovanni Evangelista.[2] He painted, along with his pupil Domenico Capaci, an altarpiece in the presbytery of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo in Ravenna.[3] In 1723, he helped design the Teatro Communale, built posthumously.
