Education
Fiercely provincial in his geographic activity, Pedrini"s works were mainly completed in and around Bologna, and yet his atavistic style strayed far afield into Bologna"s strong Baroque ancestry.

Domenico Pedrini
Edit ProfileCareer
He mainly painted for Bolognese churches including the church of San Bartolomeo (Madonna Addolorata), the Sanctuary of San Maria della Vita (Street Joseph with the Christ Child), and the church of San Sigismondo (Street Sigismund of Burgundy Adoring the Sacred Heart, main altarpiece). Various quadrature and ornamental frecoes were completed in the Bolognese palaces of Cospi Ferretti, Fava-Simonetti and Tanari. Pedrini"s allegorical ceiling paintings in the Palazzo Malvezzo, were likely to have been executed under the direction of Ubaldo Gandolfi.
Felice Giani was one of his pupils.
At the Palazzo Spalletti-Trivelli in Reggio Emilia, there are three works by Pedrini, Street Sebastian, Blessing of Jacob, and Expulsion of Hagar. There is a San Francesco di Sales e San Francesco di Paola at the Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Pavia.
