Girolamo Porro

Girolamo Porro

Girolamo Porro (c. 1520 - after 1604) was an Italian engraver on wood and on copper. He was born at Padua, but worked during the greater part of his life at Venice. He engraved for a book entitled "Imprese illustri di diversi", published by Camillo Camilli in 1535. He also executed the plates for the "Orlando Furioso" of Ariosto, published at Venice in 1548 ; for the "Funerali antichi di diversi Popoli et Natione", by Tommaso Poreacchi, published in 1574; and the portraits for the "Sommario delle Vite do' Duchi di Milano" by Scipione Barbuo, 1574. The maps in Girolamo Ruscelli's translation of the "Geographia" of Ptolemy, 1574, and the views in Porcaochi's "Isole piu famose del Mondo", 1575, are likewise by him.
