LIGORIO, Pirro
fl. 1552-1563
Pirro Ligorio (fl. 1552-1563) was an architect,
artist and cartographer, born in Naples, but based in Rome, and associated
with Tramezini, who published many of his maps, plans and views. With his
architect's background, he seems to have been particularly interested in
Roman remains and antiquities. The majority of his work relates to
Rome, but he also drew maps of France, Belgium, Germany, Greece and the
Kingdom of Naples.
