The 'Monogrammista AV' is an anonymous painter, mainly known for his still lifes, whose identity has long been debated. It has been hypothesized that he could be Giuseppe Pesci, active in Emilia in the early 18th century. The name derives from the initials 'AV' that appeared on a work. Another painter, Angelo Zani, has been suggested as a possible identity, as he signed works with the initials 'AZ' and shows stylistic similarities to the Monogrammista.
