Antonio da Sangallo the Elder
- Antonio da Sangallo the Elder
Antonio da Sangallo the Elder (c. 1453 – December 27 1534), was a Florentine architect active during the Italian Renaissance. His father Francesco Giamberti was a woodworker, and his brother Giuliano da Sangallo and nephew Antonio da Sangallo the Younger were architects. To a great extent he worked in partnership with his brother, but he also executed a number of independent works. As a military engineer he was as skilful as Giuliano, and carried out important works of walling and building fortresses at Arezzo, Montefiascone, Florence and Rome. His finest existing work as an architect is the church of San Biagio at Montepulciano, in plan a Greek cross with central dome and two towers, much resembling, on a small scale, Bramante's design for St. Peter's Basilica. He also built a palace in the same city, various churches and palaces at Monte San Savino, and at Florence a range of monastic buildings for the Servite monks. Antonio retired early from the practice of his profession, and spent his latter years in farming.
His work includes:
* The church of San Biagio at Montepulciano.
