Lombardo_(family)
Lombardo, the name of a family of Venetian sculptors and architects; their surname was apparently Solaro, and the name of Lombardo was given to the earliest known, Martino, who emigrated from Lombardy to Venice in the middle of the 15th century AD and became celebrated as an architect.
Martino Lombardo had two sons, Moro and Pietro, of whom the latter (c. 1435–1515) was one of the greatest sculptors and architects of his time, while his sons Antonio (died 1516) and Tullio (died 1532) were hardly less celebrated. Tullio's son Sante Lombardo (1504–1560) is purely known as an architect.
