Francesco Colelli (1734 – 1820) was an Italian painter, active in Calabria.
Early life[edit]
He was born in Nicastro, now part of Lamezia Terme in Calabria.
Career[edit]
He painted in a provincial, late-Baroque style which would have been prevalent a century before.

He also painted a Last Supper (1762), for the Cathedral of Nicastro.[1]
