biography

Costanzo Angelini was born on October 22nd, 1760 in Santa Giusta, (then a hamlet of Amatrice in the province of L'Aquila), the son of Francesco and Francesca de Laurentis. After settling in Rome at a young age to complete his literature studies, he devoted himself to painting and attended the studio of Marco Caprinozzi, a student of Pietro Bianchi , from the Carracci school. He later attended the Accademia di San Luca and was a student of Domenico Corvi . In 1790 he moved to Naples, where he married Mariangela Rega and had six children, including Tito Angelini . He was commissioned to draw the Greek vases from the collection of the English ambassador Sir William Hamilton for Ferdinand IV of Bourbon ; then the Marchese Nicola Vivenzio commissioned him with the drawing of his rich collection of vases, but he could not fulfill this obligation because of the uprisings of 1799. He first taught at the Accademia del Disegno, at the Manifattura di San Carlo alle Mortelle, then at the Real Fabbrica della Porcellana in Capodimonte. In 1808 he was appointed auditor of the Royal Printing House and treasurer of the Scuola di Disegno; in the following two years he was appointed professor at the Scuola di Disegno at the Reale Accademia di Belle Arti. He devoted himself intensively to teaching literature, which was mainly inspired by neoclassical aesthetics.

He became a key figure in the training of young artists from the south. Among his students were the painters Filippo Balbi, Domenico Caldara, Federico Maldarelli, Giuseppe Mancinelli, Angelo Maria Mazzia, Vincenzo Marinelli, Vincenzo Morani and Floriano Pietrocola. From 1813 he was head of painting restoration at the Museo Borbonico . He died on June 22, 1853 in Naples at the age of 93 and was buried in the Chiesa dell'Arco in Porto.
