Guiniforte Solari

Guiniforte Solari

Guiniforte Solari (also known as "Boniforte"; c. 1429 – c. 1481) was an Italian sculptor, architect and engineer.

Born in Carona, Ticino, he was the son of the architect Giovanni Solari, and brother of Francesco Solari.

Guiniforte was chief engineer of the Duchy of Milan during his life. He is especially remembered for his disputes with Filarete, who had been called by Duke Francesco I Sforza to modernize the Lombard architecture according the new Renaissance styles. Solari was instead a representant of the local Gothic tradition.

Buildings which he worked to include the Duomo, the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Ospedale Maggiore in Milan, and the Certosa of Pavia.

He died in Milan around 1481. His son Pietro was also a distinguished sculptor and architect.
