Giovanni Battista Pozzi was an Italian painter, born at Milan towards the end of the 17th century. He decorated a large number of buildings in the Piedmont, including San Cristoforo at Vercelli.

A pupil of Raffaellino da Reggio, he flourished briefly under the Papacy of Sixtus V. He painted a Christ of the Angels for the church of the Gesu, Rome.[1]
