Ambrosini, Floriano

Italian original Cite

AMBROSINI, FLORIANO. - Architect, active in Bologna between the end of the 16th century and the first decades of the 17th. In 1592 he erected the Dominican church of S. Pietro Martire and in 1615 that of S. Antonio, where, perhaps through the collaboration of B. Sacchi, his style appears enlivened by an accentuated movement of the planes in keeping with the establishment of the Baroque taste. He also presented a design for the Chapel of the Ark of St. Dominic, of which an engraving on copper was made in 1596.
