Pietro Faccini (1562–1602) was an Italian painter active near his birthplace of Bologna in styles bridging Mannerism and the nascent Baroque. According to Malvasia the main biographer of the early Bolognese Baroque he apprenticed in his twenties with Ludovico and Annibale Carracci. His style departs from the linear Roman quality assumed by his mentor and has a more sparkling quality influenced by Tintoretto Correggio and Bassano.
