VECCHIA (Pietro), bom at Venice in 1605, was a 
painter, educated in the school of Paduanino, but more an

pictures have been mistaken for works of those masters.

Venice employed him to copy the ancient works in mosaic 
which are preserved in the church of Saint Marc. And in 
that church are also two original and very able pictures by 
him, representing the Crucifixion, and Christ driving the

times apt to be incorrect. He died in 1678, aged seventy- 
three.
