Giuseppe Salerno, more commonly called il Zoppo di Gangi (Cripple from the town of Gangi) (1588 to 1630) was an Italian painter active in his native Sicily in a Mannerist style. He may have used the title Zoppo because he was a pupil of Gaspare Vazzano or Bazzano (1562 to 1630), also was known as the Zoppo di Gangi. Some of his known works are: Madonna delle Grazie with Saints Mark and Blaise (1611): Chiesa di San Marco e Biagio, Petralia Sottana Holy Family with Saint Anne and Joachim (1607): San Francesco d'Assisi, Petralia Sottana St Francis receives stigmata (1624): San Francesco d'Assisi, Petralia Sottana Triumph of the Eucharist with Saints Catherine and Peter Martyr (1617): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana Triumph of the Eucharist with Saints Catherine and Peter Martyr (1607): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana Five Wounds of Christ (1629): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana St Maurus Abbot (1623): Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana St Onophrius: Chiesa Madre, Petralia Sottana Dormition of the Virgin (1607): Once in the Franciscan convent, now housed in Palazzo del Giglio (Town Hall) of Petralia Sottana Altarpiece in Santa Chiara, Enna Life of St Franci (attributed to Zoppo di Gangi): Francesco d'Assisi, Gela Saint Jerome: Sant'Orsola, Palermo
