Mario Nuzzi, nicknamed De Fiori, was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.

Nuzzi was a pupil of the artist Tommaso Salini and was one of the first Italians to specialize in still lifes with floral compositions. From Salini he mastered the style of Caravaggismo. Nuzzi always painted flowers in his paintings, for which he was nicknamed De Fiori - "florist", and in this genre he was an unrivaled master. Floral compositions the artist depicted not only in numerous still lifes, but also necessarily included them in genre scenes of religious and domestic character. He also painted the famous "Concert of Birds", which was then repeated by many artists.

Mario Nuzzi enjoyed the patronage of the highest nobility, he was ordered paintings cardinals and noble family Barberini. In 1657, the Academy of St. Lucia in Rome awarded him the title of Academician.
