Pietro Ligari or Giovanni Pietro Ligario ( 18 February 1686 – Sondrio, 6 April 1752) was an Italian painter and architect of the late-Baroque.
He was born at Sondrio in the Valtelline valley, and after early training there, moved to Rome, where he frequented the studio of Lazzaro Baldi, and afterwards visited Venice. On his return to his native town in 1727, he was employed in painting historical pictures for churches and private collections. He died at Sondrio. He has left a ‘‘St. Benedict’’ in the church of the convent at Sondrio, and a ‘‘Descent of the Holy Spirit’‘ in the church at Morbegno.
His children, Angelo, Cesare, and Vittoria were also painters.
