Giuseppe Piattoli the Younger (1748 – 1834) was an Italian painter and engraver, active mainly in Florence.[1]

His brother Gaetano and his mother, Anna Bacherini Piattoli, were painters.[2] His father, Giuseppe Piattoli the elder was an engraver, active for a time in Sardinia. He is thought to have trained portrait artist Anna Tonelli.[3]

There are works by Servolini in the church of Santa Maria Maddalena dei Pazzi. He engraved a series of the Miracles of the miracles of the 16th-century Dominican mystic Bartolomea Bagnesi. He was appointed by Grand Duke of Tuscany, Peter Leopold to posts at the Real Galleria and the Accademia di Belle Arti of Florence.
