Bernardo di Matteo Gamberelli (Settignano near Florence 1409 – Florence, 1464), better known as Bernardo Rossellino, was a Florentine sculptor and architect, the elder brother of the painter Antonio Rossellino.
As a young man Rossellino was the pupil and collaborator of Leone Battista Alberti, from whose sketches and plans he constructed the Palazzo Rucellai, Florence, one of the very first fully Renaissance palazzi.
Rossellino was active in Tuscany and Rome, where he worked a lot for Pope Nicholas V, enlarging the transept and apse of the Old St. Peter's Basilica (1452–55) that was swept away in the following generation.

 ANTONIO ROSSELLINO - LoveToKnow Article on ANTONIO ROSSELLINO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The style of Antonio and his brother Bernardo is a development of that of Donatello and Ghiberti; it possesses all the refinement and sweetness of the earlier masters, but is not equal to them in vigour or originality.
It occupies one side of a small chapel, also built by Rossellino, on the north of the nave of San Miniato al Monte.1 The recumbent effigy of the cardinal rests on a handsome sarcophagus, and over it, under the arch which frames the whole, is a beautiful relief of the Madonna between two flying angels.
Bernardos works as an architect were numerous and important, and he was also a skilful military engineer.

 La Scultura Italiana - Bernardo Rossellino
Rossellino articolò la pianta rettangolare della cittadina intorno a un asse, al centro della quale si apre la piazza con gli edifici principali (Duomo, Palazzo Pubblico, Palazzo Vescovile, Palazzo Piccolomini), riecheggianti moduli e principi albertiani.
Fondendo scultura e architettura, Rossellino rinnovò il monumento funebre con la tomba di Leonardo Bruni in Santa Croce a Firenze (1446-50), inserita in un solenne arco a tutto sesto che rievoca la tradizione romana.
Questo tipo di tomba avrà largo seguito a Firenze, dove sarà ripreso da altri maestri, primo fra tutti Desiderio da Settignano.

 Excerpt from Hill Towns of Italy
In 1459 he commissioned the Florentine architect Bernardo Rossellino to redesign his city, though Pius himself remained the controlling intelligence behind the project.
Just outside the palace is a wellhead of white travertine--the most copied of all Rossellino's works--whose classic round form, with stone columns rising above a circular stone base, is echoed by the travertine circle at the center of the square, which is the center of Pienza itself.
Rossellino's Duomo, on the south side of the square, is really a double church, with baptistery below and cathedral above, and with a pointed campanile rising high above the town.

Pienza embodies the Renaissance dream of the "ideal town," planned by Bernardo Rossellino (1409-1464) for Pio II in 1459-1462 and for this reason rightly famous all over the world.
This little village, named Corsignano, was the birthplace in 1405 of Enea Silvio Piccolomini (1405-1464), then pope Pio II in 1458: he immediately decided to change his village in a monumental town and appointed Rossellino to plan it, while he induced some cardinals and noble families to build here their palaces.
In 1462 Pio II promoted Corsignano town with the name of Pienza, unfortunately the works were over in 1464, when Pio II and Bernardo Rossellino died.
