Italian architect
Florentine building master
An Italian architect is a person from Italy who designs buildings and oversees their construction.
The phrase appears frequently in art history and travel writing, where Italian architects from the Renaissance through the Baroque period—Brunelleschi, Palladio, Bernini—shaped Western architectural tradition: The palazzo was designed by an Italian architect in the 16th century.
