ODELLI (Ital.). Gem-engraver of the end of the eighteenth century and early part of the nineteenth, who flourished at Rome, and is best known for his copies of antique intaglios and cameos; amongst others a cameo of Vespasian in blue quartz, of very fine work. He, in partnership with Cades, Ginganelli, and Dies, produced, in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, at the commission of Prince Poniatowsky, of Florence, the enormous series of gems that have made the latter's name notorious (King, op. cit., 1872, p. 444).
