Paduan School. He studied tmder Andrea Mantegna, and painted ten scenes from the life of San Bene- detto for the principal cloister of Santa Giustina, at Padua.

He was instructed by Bombelli, at Venice, and he copied many works of the great Venetian masters; but eventually he became a follower of Carlo Maratta, at Rome. Owing to his diligent study of Greek sculpture, to which he had been originally brought up by his father, his drawing was more correct than that of most painters of his time. His works are numerous at Rome and Genoa ; Mengs' is said to have been astonished by, and greatly admired, the allegorical subjects painted bj Parodi in the Negroni Palace, at Genoa, celebrating the history of that family, and Lanzi observes that none has been more honoured by painting. In the church of the Ftlippini is San Francesco di Sales, one of his most celebrated worics; Uiere are others in the Durazzo Palace. He waa also an architect {RaUi.) PAROLINI, GiACOMO, h. at Fer- rara, 1663, d, 1733. Ferrarese School He studied first under Penizzini, m Turin, and then with Cignani, at Bologna, in whose style he excelled; especially in his fine drawing and rich carnations. He excelled also in AfM- rini, festive dances, Bacchanalian, and other scenes, much in the taste of Albani. With Parolini terminated the great masters of the Ferrarese School; its glories were buried with him, says Lanzi. Works. Feirara, eathedral, the Last Supper.

He painted large com- positions with many figures ; his atti> tudes are sometimes exaggerated, and, like most Venetians, he is regardless of the propriety of costume and place in his religious pieces. He painted more for private than for public collections
