Valerio Castello (1624 – October 1659) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. He was very active during his short life in Genoa.He was the youngest son of Bernardo Castello who died when Valerio was six years old. Valerio and his brothers were attached to the noble family of Torquato and while he had been intended to study a literate profession he showed an affinity to drawing. This was noted by his patrons who arranged his apprenticeship with Domenico Fiasella.
