Biography

Born in Pistoia, he was the son of Raffaello Baldi, and trained under Francesco Beneforti (1715-1802)[2] in Pistoia. There he was a student along with Baronto Tolemei. He then moved to Bologna where he worked under Mauro Tesi. After Tesi died, Baldi received patronage in Bologna from the Senator Girolamo Ranuzzi, the Count Massimiliano Gini, and lastly the Signore Biagio Bugamelli. He profited from making copies of still-life paintings.[3]

gollark: Using a word which is technically right by a dictionary definition can be misleading because it has connotations which possible alternate choices of word don't.
gollark: They are important. Words aren't clear cut definitions like, say, mathematical objects, and the dictionary just points to some common uses.
