Giuseppe Salerno

Giuseppe Salerno, more commonly called il Zoppo di Gangi (Cripple from the town of Gangi) (1588–1630) was an Italian painter active in his native Sicily in a Mannerist style. He may have used the title Zoppo because he was a pupil of Gaspare Vazzano or Bazzano (1562–1630), also was known as the Zoppo di Gangi. Some of his known works are:[1]
