Francesco De Grado (Naples, active 1694-1730) was an Italian engraver. ==Biography== He engraved a work by Raffaele Maria Filamondo, titled (''Il genio bellicoso di Naples: memorie istoriche di alcuni capitani celeberi napoletani'' ), published in Naples in 1694 with designs by Filippo Schor, son of the famous engraver Johann Paul Schor. Also De Grado illustrated ''Veduta della macchina di foco artificialle fatta erigere per lo giorno di San Carlo'' with designs by Michelangelo De Balsio. He engraved illustrations of the ''macchine della Cuccagna'' (see Greasy pole or ''Cockaigne''), used in the celebration held in Naples in honor of the Emperor of Spain on November 4, 1729. This text was edited by Francesco Riccardi in 1734 with designs by Cristoforo Rossi and Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. His two sons Angelo and Bartolomeo, as well as Bartolomeo's son Filippo, were also engravers. Cirillo made designs engraved by De Grado for the Archeologist Alessio Simmaco Mazzocchi's text: (''In mutilum Campani ampitheatri titulum aliasque nonnullas Campanas inscriptiones Commetarius'' ), published in Naples in 1727, and including a depiction of a Roman amphitheater in Capua. Angelo and Bartolomeo and the latter's son Filippo were also engravers. 〔(''Santolo Cirillo pittore grumese del '700'' ) , by Franco Pezzella March 2009, Tipografia Cav.
