DONZELLO, PIETRO DEL, born in Florence in 1451, died there, Feb. 24, 1509. Florentine school; son of Francesco d'Antonio di Jacopo, bailiff (donzello) of the Signoria of Florence. He and his brother Polito, or Ippolito (born in Florence in 1455, and apprenticed to Neri de' Bicci in 1469-71) were companions in that painter's studio, Florence, as late as 1480. Several panels of doubtful authenticity in the Naples Museum, as well as the wall paintings in the ex-refectory of S. Maria Nuova (probably by an Umbrian master) are attributed to them. De' Domenici, who makes the Donzelli Neapolitans and pupils of Colantonio del Fiore and Andrea Solario, is unreliable.—Vasari, ed. Mil., ii. 485; Burckhardt, 613; C. & C., N. Italy, i. 102; Ch. Blanc, École napolitaine.
