In the latter&#8217;s workshop, he meets the young Pietro Ercole Fava whose father Alessandro becomes his protector and patron. Working for twenty years at the Fava palace, he also received orders for palace decorations such as the Palazzo Pepoli Campogrande in Bologna or the palace of the family of Counts of Novellara. In 1709 Donato Creti appeared among the founders of the Accademia Clementina or the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, of which he became director in 1712. The importance of drawing for Donato Creti is quickly signaled by his contemporaries. Biographer Giampietro Zanotti notifies in his work as early as 1739 <em>Storia dell&#8217;Accademia Clementina<\/em> that he drew with the pen, without a draft underlying the black chalk, on sheets, covering them with landscapes or scenes with many characters<a href=\"#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[ 1 ]<\/a> and that he liked to offer them<a href=\"#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[ 2 ]<\/a>.
