Andrea da Formigine

The Marchese Andrea da Formigine (circa 1485 - 1559)[1] was an Italian architect of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Bologna, Italy.

He was born in Formigine, near Modena. He was central in the design of a palace at the site of Santi Bartolomeo e Gaetano; the Palazzo Fantuzzi; Palazzo Dal Monte; and the Palazzo Bolognini Amorini Salina, all in Bologna. He reputedly helped sculpt the capitals for the portico of the latter palace with Properzia de' Rossi.[2]
