Pier Francesco Cavazza (1675 14 October 1755) was an Italian painter and art collector, active in his native Bologna.

History

He trained in Bologna under Giovanni Maria Viani, where he was influenced by the works of Guercino. Unlike other Viani pupils, he became less interested in painting, and accumulated a large collection of engravings and drawings. Upon his death, the collection was dispersed. Cavazza died in Bologna.[1]
