Baldassare Peruzzi

Baldassare Tommaso Peruzzi (7 March, 1481—6 January, 1537) was an architect and painter, born at Siena and died at Rome. He derived much benefit from the years of apprenticeship beginning in 1520 under Bramante, Raphael, and Sangallo during the erection of St. Peter's. An evidence of his genius for independent work is the Palazzo Massimi alle Colonne, which he began in 1535.
