Fabio Cristofari (died 1689) was an Italian Baroque painter and mosaicist active in Rome. He was a member of the Academy of Saint Luke by 1658, and became the leading mosaicist in St. Peter's Basilica during the 1670s and 1680s.[1] His contributions to the Chapel of the Pietà, the Presentation Chapel, and the Chapel of the Crucifixion were after the designs of Ciro Ferri, Carlo Maratti, and Andrea Sacchi, respectively.[1] His son, Pietro Paolo Cristofari was also responsible for many of the church's mosaic decorations.[1]
