Faustino Trebbi (Budrio, 1761 – Bologna, 1836) was an Italian architect and ornamental painter, often active in painting quadratura frescoes.[1]

His son Raffaele learned painting from his father; while his son Mauro became a professor of Chemistry. One of his pupils was Francesco Cocchi. He helped decorate the church of the Suffragio in Bologna.[2] The chapel of the baptistery in San Lorenzo in Budrio was frescoed by Trebbi.[3]
