Pirro Ligorio
Pirro Ligorio was a notable Italian architect, engineer, and antiquarian of the Renaissance period, recognized for his contributions to architecture and urban planning. He is best remembered for his work on the Villa d'Este in Tivoli and for his extensive studies of ancient Roman architecture, which helped to revive classical styles during the Renaissance. Ligorio's influence extended beyond architecture; he was also an important figure in the study of antiquities and played a role in the preservation of historical sites. His insights and theories on building practices, particularly regarding seismic safety, remain relevant today, as discussions around building regulations and safety standards continue in Italy.
