Answer 1

Hi! Did you mean Antonio Torricelli or Torrielli or Torelli? Anyway.. this is more complicated than we had hoped.

It seems that Giuseppe Antonio Torricelli (1662-1719) son of Bartolommeo Torricelli was an Italian sculptor and gem-engraver of the late Baroque active in Florence, often using colorful and semi-precious pietra dura, a type of workmanship that became a specialty of Florence. He initially trained with Gaetano Giulio Zumbo. During his lifetime, worked under the supervision of Giovanni Battista Foggini, the master sculptor of the duchy. His masterpiece is the elaborate bust of Vittoria della Rovere (see portrait, the mother of Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III, made from chalcedony (face), sardonyx (pupils), Sicilian jasper (lips), and black touchstone (bodice and veil). This project alone took nearly two decades to complete (1696-1713). It ultimately lacks the majesty of marble, and has the appearance of a wax museum portrait. It is found presently in Museo degli Argenti in Florence.

And then yet another: Giuseppe Antonio Torrecelli, painter, born Lugano in 1710 - d. 1808. Brother of Giovanni Antonio Toricelli.

Then... there's Antonio Torricelli - aka: Giovanni Antonio Torricelli - (Italian, Nov. 15, 1716-1781) brother of Giuseppi -Painter of architecture....and wait!... there's more:

Antonio Maria Torricelli - 18th c. - Painter - Swiss School

Antonio Torelli - died in Dresden 1754 - painter and watercolorist - son of Stefano Torelli.

I hope this helps a bit!
