PESTRINI (Ital.). Medallist, and Gem-engraver, of the first half of the nineteenth century. He resided at Rome, and in 1823 applied for the post of Mint-engraver. His medal with portrait of Pope Pius VII. is one of the best in the Papal Medallic series, says Nagler. Other portrait-pieces of Pius VII., Leo XII., and Pius VIII. bear this artist's signature, and exhibit unusual skill and careful treatment. Bibliography. — Nagler, op. cit. — Bolzenthal, op. cit.
