an Italian painter, was born at Cremona probably near the opening of the 16th century. Very little is known of his personal history. He is supposed to have been a scholar of Bernardino Campi. Lanzi says that "Pellini, though unknown in his native city Cremona, is celebrated at Milan for his Descent from the Cross, in the church of S. Eustorgio." This is a grand composition, correctly designed and well colored, dated 1595.
