Pietro Ciafferi

"Smargiasso" redirects here and is not to be confused with Smargiassi.

Pietro Ciafferi or Ciaffero (c. 1600 in Pisa – fl. until 1654 at least),[1] nicknamed Lo Smargiasso ("The Braggart"),[2] was an Italian painter of the Florentine school. He painted marine subjects and seaports, which his residence at Livorno enabled him to study from nature, as well as architectural and perspective views and sacred subjects. His works are highly finished, and ornamented with small detailed figures; they are principally preserved at Pisa and Livorno. An Ecce Homo by him is in the Pitti Palace, Florence.
