Caccia, Guglielmo redirects here.

MONCALVO, CACCIA GUGLIELMO detto il. - Painter, b. at Montabone (Acqui) around 1568, d. in 1625. He settled in 1593 at Moncalvo, whence the nickname.

He was an eclectic, mannerist painter, and was influenced both by the Piedmontese tradition dominated by Gaudenzio Ferrari and by Lombard painting, especially that of Procaccini. His painterly output is abundant. Mentioned are: the altarpiece, signed and dated 1585, for the Annunziata of Guarene. Frescoes in the sanctuary of Crea; in the chapel of the Rosary at Candia Lomellina (1590); in S. Marco of Novara (1614); at the Carmine of Pavia (1621).
