Antonio Salvetti was an Italian portrait and landscape painter, architect and politician. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence and under Franz von Lenbach in Munich. Salvetti was deeply attached to his Tuscan home town of Colle Val d'Elsa: in 1897, he became the town's first socialist mayor. In addition, several of his architectural projects were realised there, including a church and a cemetery. Nowadays, Salvetti's numerous surviving paintings are still on display mainly in a museum in his home town, but also in smaller museums in Tuscany.
