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.[https://books.google.com/books?id=Y1PR90_WaEsC Biografia universale antica e moderna ossia Storia per alfabeto della vita]; page 398-399.
