ZINGARO, LO, born in Venice or at Cività di Penna, near Chieti, about 1382, died in Naples in 1455 (?). Neapolitan school; real name Antonio Solario; said to have been a smith and to have become a painter for love of Colantonio del Fiore's daughter; to have studied in Bologna with Lippo Dalmasio, and in Venice, Florence, Ferrara, and Rome, under the Vivarini, Bicci, Galapo, Pisanello, and Gentile da Fabriano.
