Antonio Scaglione

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antonio Scaglione was a 16th century provincial Sicilian architect, best known for his work in the Gothic style, which he continued to promote long after Renaissance architecture had superseded it in popularity. The church of "S. Maria di Porto Salvo" in Palermo, which was begun in the Renaissance manner by Antonello Gangini (1478-1536), one of the few architects to attempt to promote the Renaissance in Sicily, was finished by Scaglione in true Gothic style.
