Life

Born in Florence, Piattoli studied with Francesco Ciaminghi, Francesco Conti, and Violante Beatrice Siries. She married the painter Gaetano Piattoli in 1741; the couple's son, Giuseppe, also became a painter, while another son, Scipione, achieved some note as a Piarist priest. Anna Piattoli specialized in miniature paintings and pastels, and produced portraits and religious scenes. An oil self-portrait of 1776, in which she is shown copying the Madonna del Sacco of Andrea del Sarto, is in the collection of the Uffizi.
