| biography:
| Architect and painter, born in Bologna, N Italy. After training there, he moved to Rome in 1514 to study with Baldassare Peruzzi. He moved to Venice in 1527, and in 1540 was called to France by Francis I. More influential than his architecture was his treatise on Italian architecture, Regole generali di architettura (1537–51, and posthumously 1575), which was widely consulted, and later published in English, German, and Dutch editions. |
