Achille Vertunni (Naples, March 1826 –?) was an Italian painter. ==Biography== Initially studied law under Roberto Savarese. The family wanted him to become an architect, and sent to study mathematics under Ferdinando de Luca, but he gravitated towards arts. He studied landscape painting under Salvatore Fergola, and after 8 months worked with the historical painter Giuseppe Bonolis, and finally with Francesco De Sanctis. He said to have been influenced by Gabriele Smargiassi. In 1851, the Neapolitan academy of fine arts, in its yearly competition, failed to agree on a single first prize winner, and instead gave two silver medals to Vertunni and his fellow Bonolis pupil, Filippo Palizzi; each endowed with a stipend to study in Rome. Some of the judges likely favored Palizzi because of his links to the academy. In 1853, he moves to Rome. He soon painted a ''Santa Margherita da Cortona'' for the Exposizione of Florence. In the same year, he painted ''La Pia de' Tolomei'' and ''Dante in the Forest''. He faced difficulty in selling the latter, placing economic pressure. But he persevered, prolific in painting. Later in life, he was named cavaliere della Corona d'Italia, and honorary professor of the Instituto di Belle Arti of Naples and of the Brera Academy of Milan. 〔(| ‘‘Dizionario degli Artisti Italiani Viventi: pittori, scultori, e Architetti.’’ ), by Angelo de Gubernatis.
