Mariano Bovi (8 December 1757 – 9 April 1813) (also Marino, Mno, M.; Bova, Bove)[1][2] was an Italian engraver, publisher and art dealer.
Mariano Bovi was born in Naples, Italy, on 8 December 1757. There is a record of him having at least one brother, Rocco Bovi (1743-1831)[3] (who later became a mathematician and mayor of Scilla in Calabria).[4] In 1781 Mariano was sent to London by Ferdinand IV to serve as an apprentice for three years under Francesco Bartolozzi. He later became an art dealer and publisher, going into business with his brother Rocco. His productive period in London was between 1786 and 1791. He went into bankruptcy in 1805 and died in 1813 in Messina.[5][6]
