Taddeo Landini

Taddeo Landini

Taddeo Landini (c. 1561 - March 13, 1596) was an Italian sculptor and architect of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Florence and Rome. He was born in Florence and died in Rome.

In the early 1580s, he sculpted a copy of Michelangelo’s "Risen Christ" for Santo Spirito in Firenze. In 1585 he completed a gilt-bronze seated statue of Pope Sixtus V (now destroyed). Today, his most famous work is the so-called "Fontana delle Tartarughe" in Piazza Mattei of Rome.
