CAMPI, GIULIO (1502-1572), the founder of a school of Italian painters, was born at Cremona. He was son and pupil of a painter, Galeazzo Campi (1475-1536). He was later taught by Giulio Romano, and made a special study of Titian, Correggio and Raphael. His works are very numerous, and the church of St. Margaret in his native town owes all its frescoes to his hand. Among the earliest of his school are his brothers, Vincenzo and Antonio; the latter was also of some mark as a sculptor and as historian of Cremona.
Giulio's pupil, BERNARDINO CAMPI (1522-1592), in some re spects superior to his master, began life as a goldsmith. After an education under Giulio Campi and Ippolito Corta, he attained such skill that when he added another to the i 1 Caesars of Titian, it was impossible to say which was the master's and which the imitator's. His principal work is seen in the frescoes of the cupola at San Sigismondo, at Cremona.
