Born in Bergamo, Viviano Codazzi grew up in Naples, where he received early training and began his career. He specialized in perspective views, sometimes collaborating with other artists who populated his architectural scenery with lively little figures. During the Naples period these collaborators were primarily two – Domenico Gargiulo and Aniello Falcone. In the aftermath of Masaniello's Revolt against Spain in 1647, Codazzi fled Naples, resettling in Rome, where he remained for the final two decades of his life. There, his occasional collaborators included the painters Adriaen van der Cabel and Michelangelo Cerquozzi.
