Mario Nuzzi or Mario de’ Fiori (1603–1673) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period active mainly in Rome. He was a pupil of the painter Tommaso Salini. He was among the first Italians specializing in still life painting of flower arrangements. He also painted a celebrated Concert of Birds an often repeated model which here arranges an encyclopedic diversity of realistically depicted fowl on branches as a chorus around an owl. Among his pupils were Laura Bernasconi and Domenico Bettini.
