Edoardo Gioia (Rome, 1862 - Rome, 1937), an Italian painter and artist. He treated the decoration and portrait with Pre-Raphaelite taste. Influenced by Nino Costa, he repudiated genre painting by reproducing marines, countries, plants, animals and painted and drew with simplicity and with very effective results. He decorated several rooms in London and prepared cartoons for stained glass and artistic cases. The National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome own 15 decorative panels and two of his paintings are preserved at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
