Vincenzo Glotti was a native of Bologna, born about 1580. He became a scholar of Dionysius Calverte at the time that Guido Reni studied under that master. At twenty years of age he went to Rome in company with Guido, and there painted some pictures. He was then invited to the court of Naples, where he passed the nunalnder of his life. Giotto possessed so ready an Invention, and such surprMng facility, that Orlandl states, from a list of his works, found after his death, that he had painted no fewer than 218 pictures for public positions In the different towns of the kingdom of Naples. He died at Reggio In 1636.
