CAVALLINI, FRANCESCO. - Sculptor, born according to some in Carrara, according to others in the Canton of Ticino, active in Rome in the second half of the 17th century; in 1684 he was elected a member of the Academy of St. Luke.
He was in all likelihood a pupil of Raggi, but is distinguished from him by a greater nervousness of modeling. His principal works are two characteristic Bolognetti monuments in the church of Gesù e Maria, two reliefs with Sts. Magdalene and Catherine in S. Maria dell'Umiltà, the two Cibo busts in S. Maria del Popolo, and the travertine statues on the facade of S. Marcello al Corso; he was also a skilled stucco worker.
