===Sangallo===
[[Antonio da Sangallo the Younger]] (1485–1546) was one of a family of [[Military engineering|military engineers]]. His uncle, [[Giuliano da Sangallo]] was one of those who submitted a plan for the rebuilding of St Peter's and was briefly a co-director of the project, with [[Raphael]].<ref name= I.R. />

Antonio da Sangallo also submitted a plan for St Peter's and became the chief architect after the death of Raphael, to be succeeded himself by Michelangelo.

His fame does not rest upon his association with St Peter's but in his building of the [[Farnese Palace]], "the grandest palace of this period", started in 1530.<ref name=BF /> The impression of grandness lies in part in its sheer size, (56&nbsp;m long by 29.5 meters high) and in its lofty location overlooking a broad piazza. Unusually for such a large and luxurious house of the time, it was built principally of stuccoed brick, rather than of stone. Against the smooth pink-washed walls the stone quoins of the corners, the massive rusticated portal and the repetition of finely detailed windows produce an elegant effect. The upper of the three equally sized floors was added by Michelangelo. The travertine for its architectural details came not from a quarry, but from the [[Colosseum]].<ref name=BF />
