Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (April 12, 1484

August 3, 1546), born Antonio Cordiani, was an

Italian architect active during the Renaissance.

Biography

Sangallo was born in Florence. His grandfather

Francesco Giamberti was a woodworker, and his uncles

Giuliano and Antonio da Sangallo were noted

architects of the time.

He went while very young to Rome, and became a

pupil of Bramante, of whose style he was afterwards a

close follower. He lived and worked in Rome during

the greater part of his life, and was much employed by

several of the popes. He designed the brick and

travertine church of Santa Maria di Loreto. The lower

order is square in plan, the next octagonal; and the

whole is surmounted by a fine dome and lofty lantern.

The lantern is, however, a later addition.

Antonio also carried out the lofty and well-designed

church of San Giovanni dei Fiorentini, which had been

begun by Jacopo Sansovino. The east end of this

church rises in a very stately way out of the bed of the

Tiber River, near the Ponte Sant'Angelo; the west end

has been ruined by the addition of a later facade, but

the interior is a noble example of a somewhat dull

style. Great skill was shown in successfully building

this large church, partly on the solid ground of the bank

and partly on the shifting sand of the river bed. Antonio

also built the Cappella Paolina and other parts of the

Vatican, together with additions to the walls and forts

of the Leonine City. His most ornate work is the lower

part of the cortile of the Farnese Palace, afterwards

completed by Michelangelo, a very rich and

well-proportioned specimen of the then favorite design,

a series of arches between engaged columns supporting

an entablature, an arrangement taken from the outside

of the Colosseum.

He built a palace for himself on the Via Giulia that was later bought in 1649 by the Sacchetti family and renamed the

Palazzo Sacchetti. It is still owned by the Sacchetti family but the building itself has been subject to a number of

alterations.

After the Sack of Rome (1527), he mainly worked in other cities, mainly as military architect: he designed, for

example, the fortifications of Ancona. He also constructed, on commission of pope Clement VII, the very deep
