FACCIOLI, GIROLAMO (Ital.). Bolzenthal quotes this artist, whose name is also found as FACIUOLI, a native of Perugia, who worked between 1530 and 1574, as a clever Goldsmith, Copper plate-engraver, and Medallist. The author above-mentioned adds that Faccioli the Elder must be distinguished from his son, who flourished during the second half of the sixteenth century. Benvenuto Cellini refers to the elder Faccioli in his Autobiography, and says that he worked from designs by Francesco Mazzola. We possess no medallic works by this artist. He was Coin-engraver at the Mint of Bologna, and on his death, in 1573, was succeeded by Alessandro Menganti.
