Bernardo Rachetti (1639–1702) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active as a painter of imaginary vedute.
He was born in Milan, the nephew and scholar of Giovanni Ghisolfi. He painted architectural views and perspectives ( capricci) in the style of his instructor, for whose pictures Racchetti's are not infrequently mistaken. They usually represent seaports embellished with magnificent buildings.
