In the 15th century the courts of certain other Italian states became centres for spreading of Renaissance philosophy, art and architecture.

In [[Mantua]] at the court of the [[House of Gonzaga|Gonzaga]], Alberti designed two churches, the [[Sant'Andrea, Mantua|Basilica of Sant'Andrea]] and [[San Sebastiano (Mantua)|San Sebastiano]].

[[Urbino]] was an [[Renaissance in Urbino|important centre]] with the [[Palazzo Ducale, Urbino|Ducal Palace]] being constructed for [[Federico da Montefeltro]] in the mid 15th century. The Duke employed [[Luciano Laurana]] from [[Dalmatia]], renowned for his expertise at fortification. The design incorporates much of the earlier medieval building and includes an unusual turreted three-storeyed façade. Laurana was assisted by Francesco di Giorgio Martini. Later parts of the building are clearly Florentine in style, particularly the inner courtyard, but it is not known who the designer was.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Historic Centre of Urbino|url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/828/|access-date=2023-02-20|website=UNESCO World Heritage Centre|language=en|archive-date=23 November 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211123033726/http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/828|url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Ferrara]], under the [[House of Este|Este]], was expanded in the late 15th century, with several new palaces being built such as the [[Palazzo dei Diamanti]] and [[Palazzo Schifanoia]] for [[Borso d'Este]].

In [[Milan]], under the [[Visconti of Milan|Visconti]], the [[Certosa di Pavia]] was completed, and then later under the [[Sforza]], the [[Castello Sforzesco]] was built.<ref name=BF />

[[Venetian Renaissance architecture]] developed a particularly distinctive character because of local conditions. [[San Zaccaria]] received its Renaissance façade at the hands of [[Antonio Gambello]] and [[Mauro Codussi]], begun in the 1480s.<ref>Marion Kaminski, ''Art and Architecture of Venice'', 1999, Könemann, {{ISBN|3-8290-2657-9}}</ref> [[Giovanni Maria Falconetto]], the Veronese architect-sculptor, introduced Renaissance architecture to Padua with the [[Loggia and Odeo Cornaro]] in the garden of [[Alvise Cornaro]].

In southern Italy, Renaissance masters were called to Naples by [[Alfonso V of Aragon]] after his conquest of the [[Kingdom of Naples]]. The most notable examples of Renaissance architecture in that city are the [[Cappella Caracciolo]], attributed to Bramante, and the [[Palazzo Orsini di Gravina]], built by [[Gabriele d'Angelo]] between 1513 and 1549.
