	Michelozzo Michelozzi - Biography and Gallery of Art
		While Michelozzo was in Florence the public palace of the Siguoria began to show signs of age, because some columns of the courtyard gave way, owing to the great weight upon them, the foundation being weak and awry, and possibly because the pieces were badly joined and badly built.
		Michelozzo also restored the chapel where the Mass is heard, and many chambers near it, decorating the ceiling with gold lilies on a blue ground; for the upper and lower apartments of the palace he made new ceilings, covering all those already existing in the antique style.
		When Michelozzo had complied, the charge of the work was entrusted to Pagno di LapoPartigiani, 10 sculptor of Fiesoie, who had many things to ti6ke into consideration, as it was necessary to include a great deal in a small space.

	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.

	Biography
		With Donatello he produced three major tombs — those of anti-pope John XXIII (Baptistery, Florence), Cardinal Brancacci (S. Angelo a Nilo, Naples), and Bartolommeo Aragazzi (Montepulciano Cathedral, but now disassembled; two angels are in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London).
		In his later career Michelozzo worked mainly as an architect, and he ranks as one of the leading figures of the generation after Brunelleschi, whom he succeeded as capomaestro at Florence Cathedral (1446).
		Michelozzo was influential in spreading the Renaissance style; he worked in Milan, Croatia, and the island of Chios.

	Michelozzo Biography / Biography of Michelozzo Biography
		In 1425 Michelozzo became the partner of the sculptor Donatello and designed the architectural elements for the tombs of the antipope John XXIII (1425-1427) in the Baptistery of Florence and Cardinal Brancacci (1427-1428) in Naples and for the outdoor pulpit (1433-1438) of the Cathedral at Prato.
		The Medici villa he designed at Fiesole (1458-1461) lacks any aspect of fortification and in its openness and elegance is a modest forerunner of a type of architecture important in Renaissance Italy.
		The church of St. Maria delle Grazie in Pistoia, for which Michelozzo furnished the design (from 1452), although it was completed by others with changes, reveals the influence of Brunelleschi in its square tribune with a saucer dome flanked by barrel-vaulted arms.

		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.

	From Lives of the Artists: Michelozzo Michelozzi - Sidebar - MSN Encarta
		After serving with the Italian Renaissance artists Lorenzo Ghiberti and Donatello, architect and sculptor Michelozzo went on to design, build, repair, and expand many structures around Italy, chiefly with the sponsorship of the powerful Florentine banker and statesman Cosimo de’ Medici.
		Influenced and overshadowed by his contemporary, the architect Filippo Brunelleschi, Michelozzo is nonetheless considered one of the most important early Renaissance architects.
		In this narrative from 16th-century Italian writer and artist Giorgio Vasari’s Lives of the Artists (1550, revised 1568), Vasari described the creation of a number of Michelozzo’s works, including the famous Medici-Riccardi Palace (1444-1460) in Florence.
