Pietro da Corto'na (properly Pietro Berrettini) was an Italian painter and architect. He was born in 1596 at Cortona and died in 1669. Pope Urban VIII employed him to decorate a chapel in the church of St Bibiena, and also to execute the frescoes of the grand salon of the Barberini Palace. Many churches of Rome were decorated by him and at Florence he adorned the Pitti Palace for the Grand-duke Ferdinand II. His easel pictures, although of less value than his larger works, are held in great estimation. As an architect he did some important work in church restoration.
