Gennaro Greco (1663–1714), also known as "Il Mascacotta", was an Italian veduta painter.
Greco was born and worked in Naples. His son Vincenzo Greco also became a painter. Greco was inspired to paint veduta after studying works by Andrea Pozzo.[1] He died after a fall from scaffolding while working on a ceiling fresco in Nola in 1714.[1] He is described by Dalbono as a painter of views of mutilated ruins (vedute di mutilato anticaglie).[2]
