Michelozzo DiBartolommeo, Michelozzo also spelled Michelozzi, architect and sculptor, was most notable in the development of Florentine Renaissance architecture.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Michelozzo acquired the skills of a bronze founder in the workshop of celebrated sculptor, Lorenzo Ghiberti.  <\/span>On or about 1420, they worked together on the “St. Matthew” for the church<\/st1:PlaceType> of San Michele<\/st1:PlaceName>, Florence<\/st1:City>, Italy<\/st1:country-region><\/st1:place>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

From 1427-1438, Michelozzo developed a partnership with the sculptor, Donatello.  <\/span>They built several architectural and sculptural tombs.   <\/span>Together, they built the pulpit (designed in 1428) at Prato Cathedral.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Michelozzi was closely associated with the De Medici family.  <\/span>He accompanied them went they went into exile at Venice<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> in 1433.  <\/span>After returning from exile, Michelozzi’s architectural career began to develop in earnest.  <\/span>In 1436, he completed the renovation of the ruined monastery of San Marco in Florence<\/st1:City><\/st1:place>.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Michelozzi is credited with created several innovations in the architectural design of Florentine palaces.  <\/span>These architectural features are quite dominant in the palace that Michelozzo built for Cosimo de’ Medici (1444-1459) now called the Palazzo Medici-Riccardi.  <\/span>It is considered one of the finest examples of early Renaissance architecture.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

                                                                                                                                                          Late in his life, Michelozzi restored several villas for the De Medicis and worked as an engineer in Ragusa and on the Greek island of Chios.<\/span><\/p>\n
