His principal works are at Ancona, where he painted several altar-pieces and pictures for its churches and public buildings, of which the most esteemed are ' The Marriage of the Virgin ' and 'The Last Sapper.'

CACCIOLI, Giuseppe Antonio, a painter and engraver, was the son of Giovanni Battista Caccioli. He was born at Bologna in 1672, and was a pupil of the brothers Piolli. His works, which are mainly architectural and painted in fresco and in oil, are to be found chiefly in Florence and Bologna, and are superior to what might have been expected from the character of his instruction.

CADOHINO, who was a painter of the 17th cen- tury, was a friend of Nicolas Poussin. The paint- ings of amoretd, executed in so life-like a style, and characterised by so much grace, that are now in the Fol Collection at Geneva are probably his Work.
CAFFI, Cavaliere Ippolito, was a painter of architectural subjects and sea-pieces, born at Bel- luno in 1814. His first work was produced at the Venice Academy. He subsequently removed to Rome, where he worked laboriously as a teacher of drawing, and made some little reputation by his treatise on Perspective, as well as by his investiga- tions on the subject of Roman Monuments. In 1843 he visited Greece and the East. The first work of his that created a sensation was ' The Car- nival at Venice.' This was exhibited at Paris in 1846, and in consequence of its brilliant effects of light created such a furore that he had to repro- duce it some forty times. Other works deserving of notice are his ' Panorama of Rome from Monte Mario,' ' Isthmus of Suez,' and ' Close of the Carnival at Rome.' Taking part in the revo- lutionary movement at Venice in 1848, he had to retire into Piedmont. His intention of producing a painting commemorative of the first Italian naval engagement was frustrated by the destruction of the ' Re d'ltalia,' the vessel on board of which he was, when he perished at Lissa along with his comrades in 1866.
