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.
