SCARPAGNINO, ABBONDI, ANTONIO detto lo. -
Architect and stonecutter, b. in Milan and d. in Venice
at a very advanced age in 1549.

The earliest documents concerning him relate
to his work as builder of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi in
Venice, the city where he carried out the rest of his activity
as an architect but also as an executor of buildings designed by others.
Among his constructions are listed: the bell
tower of S. Sebastiano (1506-48), the Fabbriche Vecchie di
Rialto (1520-22), the church of S. Giovanni Elemosinario,
the upper part of the facade and the grand staircase of the Scuola
di S. Rocco (1535-49), the front of the Doge's Palace
facing the Cortiletto dei Senatori. He also worked on the restoration
of the old Rialto Bridge after the fire of 1513 and on
that of the Ponte della Pietra in Verona.
