Carlo Cignani was an Italian painter, a representative of the Bolognese Baroque school.
Although he was educated in Bologna, he was more influenced by Correggio. The last 20 years of his life the artist spent in Forli, engaged in painting churches. The fresco "Assumption of the Virgin" in the dome of the cathedral of Forlì was painted by Cignani on the motives of the painting of the dome of the Cathedral of Parma, made by Correggio.
His son Felice (1660-1724) and nephew Paolo (1709-1764) were also artists.
