Nosadella

Nosadella (active c. 1530-1571) was an Italian painter and draftsman, active during the Mannerist period, mainly in Bologna. He appears to have travelled to Rome.

His full name was Giovanni Francesco Bezzi. He was a pupil of Pellegrino Tibaldi. Few of his paintings have certain attribution, among them are a Madonna and Child with Saints, painted for the Oratorio of Santa Maria della Vita in Bologna; and a Circumcision, (1571) painted for the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore and completed by Prospero Fontana.
