Giuseppe Salerno

Giuseppe Salerno, more commonly called ''il Zoppo di Gangi'' (Cripple from the town of Gangi) (1588–1630) was an Italian painter active in his native Sicily in a Mannerist style. He may have used the title ''Zoppo'' because he was a pupil of Gaspare Vazzano or Bazzano (1562–1630), also was known as the ''Zoppo di Gangi''. Some of his known works are: *''Madonna delle Grazie with Saints Mark and Blaise'' (1611): Chiesa di San Marco e Biagio, Petralia Sottana *''Holy Family with Saint Anne and Joachim'' (1607): San Francesco d'Assisi, Petralia Sottana *''St Francis receives stigmata'' (1624): San Francesco d'Assisi, Petralia Sottana *''Triumph of the Eucharist with Saints Catherine and Peter Martyr'' (1617): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana *''Triumph of the Eucharist with Saints Catherine and Peter Martyr'' (1607): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana *''Five Wounds of Christ'' (1629): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana *''St Maurus Abbot'' (1623): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana *''St Onophrius'': Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana *''Dormition of the Virgin'' (1607): Once in the Franciscan convent, now housed in Palazzo del Giglio (Town Hall) of Petralia Sottana *Altarpiece in Santa Chiara, Enna *''Life of St Franci'' (attributed to Zoppo di Gangi): Francesco d'Assisi, Gela *''Saint Jerome'': Sant'Orsola, Palermo Provided by Wikipedia
