Alessandro Casolano

Alessandro Casolano (1552-1606) was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance period, active mainly in Siena. He was also called Alessandro della Torre. He was born at Siena, and was the pupil of Ventura Salimbeni and of Cristoforo Roncalli. His works are principally in the churches of Siena, but are also to be found in Naples and Genoa. He also etched one plate, a Madonna. His son, Ilario Casolano was also a painter. Among the pupils of Casolani are Bernardino Capitelli, Sebastiano Folli, and Giovanni Biliverti.
