Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (1484–1546) was a highly influential Italian Renaissance architect. He arrived in Rome around age 20 and began his career designing townhouses. He later worked on the Palazzo Farnese, which became a significant Roman palace.1

Sangallo also played a crucial role in the construction of St. Peter's Basilica, initially as an assistant to Donato Bramante and later as the chief architect. His detailed wooden model for the basilica is still preserved in the Vatican Museum. He collaborated with other notable architects of his time, including Michele Sanmicheli.12
