Cristoforo Serodine
Born in 1550.
Died in 1631.
Cristoforo Serodine was an artist from Ascona, recognised for his talents as an architect, stuccoist and painter. He was the father, and probably the first teacher, of Giovanni and Giovanni Battista Serodine. Around 1590, he emigrated to Rome while maintaining close ties with his native region, Ticino.
His career bears witness to an artistic influence that may have left its mark on his descendants.
