Camillo, an Italian painter, was born in 1511 at Cremona, and was the son of Boccaccio, and studied under him. In 1537 he painted the Four Evangelists in the niches of the cupola of St. Sigismondo. The other works of this artist are at Cremona, and are highly esteemed, especially the Raising of Lazarus and the Adulteress before Christ. He died in 1546. See Spooner, Biog.
