	Michelozzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michelozzo di Bartolommeo (1391 - 1472?) (sometimes called Michelozzo Michelozzi, although some sources say this is an error), Italian architect and sculptor, was a Florentine by birth, the son of a tailor, and in early life a pupil of Donatello.
		Michelozzo's great friend and patron was Cosimo de' Medici, whom he accompanied to Venice in 1433 during his short exile.
		The magnificent Palazzo Medici in Florence, built by Cosimo, was designed by him; it is one of the noblest specimens of Italian 15th-century architecture, in which the great taste and skill of the architect has combined the delicate lightness of the earlier Italian Gothic with the massive stateliness of the classical style.

		Michelozzi Michelozzo (1396-1472) was employed by Cosimo de Medici in the 1440s and 1450s to remodel or rebuild several medieval fortified villas or fattorias in the vicinity of Florence.
		This was achieved in a spirit of villegiatura, or the cultural ideal of rural living, which had become desirable by the fourteenth century, as evinced by Boccaccio's setting of The Decameron in a villa outside the city, (1) and Petrarch's Vita Solitaria, begun in 1346.
		(6) Michelozzo's design was structurally innovative, in that he abandoned the model of the fortified farmhouse; incorporated a loggia with vistas towards the city, inspired by vernacular farmhouse design; (7) and designed monumental terraces and a giardino segreto in proportion with the house.

	Donatello - With Michelozzo, And At Siena
		AT the entrance of the third decade of his life, Donato stepped into the second period of his artistic career, that of his association with Michelozzo.
		The works thus done in association were principally a series of tombs-those of Pope John XXIII., and of the Cardinal Brancacci aforesaid, and also, according to some authorities, that of the poet Bartolommeo of Aragazzi.
		It is indeed probable that Donato undertook the pure sculpture of these monuments, yet that he did not always execute the whole is clear.
