Giuseppe Fiocco

Giuseppe Fiocco (16 November 1884 – 5 October 1971) was an Italian art historian, art critic, and academic. He is known for his research and writings on Venetian and Florentine artists.

Biography Fiocco was born on 16 November 1884 in Giacciano con Baruchella, Veneto, Italy. His parents were Luigi and Maria Carpani. Subsequently, he was accepted into the Accademia dei Lincei, the Accademia di San Luca, and numerous other Italian academies. Under his leadership the institute became a major center for research into Venetian art by publishing catalogues of the collections of the Fondazione Querini Stampalia and the civic or city museums of Belluno, Treviso, and Vicenza; funding scholarships and exhibitions; and establishing a library and photo library at its headquarters on San Giorgio Maggiore. As a result of his work, he rediscovered the artists Francesco Vecellio, Pietro Marescalchi, and Il Pordenone, among others.

Fiocco died on 5 October 1971 at his home in Padua.
