Ferdinando Focchi (or Fochi), Italian quadratura painter active in Bologna and Padua. He was a pupil of Domenico Maria Canuti. He worked in the Palazzo Senatorio Magnani in Bologna and in the Biblioteca Antoniana in Padua.
The ceiling of the library of the Santo in Padua was painted by Ferdinando Focchi, a pupil of Canuti, in a well-documented commission. The central panel by Giovanni Antonio Pellegrini is surrounded by elaborate quadratura and numerous symbols of scholarship. The Virgin in the centre appears before a number of Franciscan saints as the Immaculata.
