Stefano di Giovanni

Stefano di Giovanni, dikenal sebagai il Sassetta, (1392 – 1450 atau 1451) adalah seorang pelukis Italia. Dia lahir di Siena, meskipun ada juga dugaan bahwa dia lahir di Cortona. Tetapi, catatan sejarah pertamanya di Siena adalah pada tahun 1423. Di Giovanni kemungkinan adalah murid Paolo di Giovanni Fei meskipun diduga dia juga pernah belajar pada Benedetto di Bindo. Dia melukis dengan gaya lukisan Sekolah Siena semi-arkais. Francesco di Giorgio e di Lorenzo, atau lebih dikenal sebagai Vecchietta, disebut-sebut sebagai muridnya.
