Italian gem engraver. Vasari in the 1568 edition of his Lives wrote of a group of artists who engraved cameos and gems, and he cited specifically one Domenico dei Cammei (Domenico of the Cameos), a Milanese, who made a portrait of Duke Ludovico il Moro in intaglio on a ruby. This artist should be distinguished from another gem engraver, Domenico Compagni who was active in the second half of the sixteenth century at the court of the Medici in Florence, also called Domenico de' Cammei. //
