Antonio Zanetti (1754 – May 23, 1812) was an Italian painter.S. Ticozzi page 96.
He was born in Casalmaggiore, and there a pupil of the Abbot Francesco Chiozzi. Zanetti worked in the Ducal Villa at Sala, belonging to Maria Amalia, Duchess of Parma, wife of Ferdinand, Duke of Parma. He painted in the Oratory of ‘’la Cappelletta’’, in the chapel of St Joseph in Santa Croce of Casalmaggiore, and in the Casa Cavalli, and Casa Bolzoni.Notizie storico-patrie di Casalmaggiore by Antonio Barili, (1812), page 181. Zanetti also painted the entry to the library in the Convent of San Francesco.Barili page 101. It is not clear that he is related to either Antonio Maria Zanetti the elder or the younger, the famed Venetian engraver and art historian respectively.
