DARIO DA TREVISO, of Padua, latter half of 15th century. Mentioned in accounts of the Basilica di S. Antonio in 1446 as a pupil of Squarcione.

He devoted himself chiefly to the decoration of house-fronts, and many examples of his industry of this kind exist in Treviso, Serravalle, and Conegliano.—C. & C., N. Italy, i. 350.
