Antonio Gresta (1671 in Ala, Trentino – 1727 in Bruchsal) was an Italian painter.[1] Gresta apparently trained in Verona and Venice.[2] Among his works are frescoes in the church of the Carmine in Trento. Along with the painter-sculptor Gaspare Antonio Baroni di Cavalcabò, he helped decorate the church of the Santissimi Trinità in Sacco near Rovereto; the Palazzi Pizzini and Taddei in Ala; and the bishop's residence in Bressanone. Gresta painted altarpieces for parish churches in Ala. A year before his death, he traveled to the German town of Bruchsal to become court painter.[3]
