Fra Xanto Avelli da Rovigo
Fra Xanto Avelli da Rovigo was a sixteenth-century Italian potter whose maiolica — tin-glazed earthenware painted with narrative scenes — carries the istoriato style of the Renaissance across the surfaces of dishes and plates. His subjects are drawn from myth and ancient story, as in a dish depicting the tale of Semiramis. The archive holds two of his works, both in maiolica, one of them lustered, with dates given as 1530 to 1534 and impressions up to that span.
