Happy Birthday Giacomo Vignola
October 1 is the birthday of Italian architect Giacomo Vignola. Also known as Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, Giacomo Vignola worked in and near Italy, especially in Rome, during the Renaissance. Giacomo Vignola studied with Michelangelo and, like Palladio, he helped set the standard for architecture in Europe. His book, The Five Orders of Architecture, helped establish exact rules of proportion used in classical Roman architecture.
