BENCI di CIONE DAMI. - Architect of Comacine origin; he worked in Florence, where he died in 1588. In 1549-50 he worked with Neri di Fioravante on the church of S. Carlo and on the loggia of Orsammichele; in 1566-68 he collaborated on the project for the continuation of the construction of the cathedral; his masterpiece is the loggia of the Signoria (in collaboration with Simone Talenti), which is linked to the classical tradition through the monumentality of its proportions.
