ANTONIO di VINCENZO. - Architect, born about 1350 and died between 1401 and 1402. His name is particularly associated with the basilica of S. Petronio in Bologna, whose construction was entrusted to him in 1390 and for which he appears to have drawn inspiration from the Certosa of Pavia. In Bologna he also worked on the Loggia della Mercanzia, the palace of Re Enzo, and the church of S. Francesco, for which he built the bell tower. In the vicinity of the same city he carried out works of civil and military architecture.
