Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (or Antonio Cordiani) (April 12, 1484 - August 3, 1546) was a Florentine architect active during the Italian Renaissance.
Antonio also built the Cappella Paolina and other parts of the Vatican, together with additions to the walls and forts of the Leonine City.
Antonio also constructed the very deep and ingenious rock-cut well at Orvieto, formed with a double spiral staircase, like the Well of Saladin in the citadel of Cairo.
