Bernardino da Parenzo [Parentino; Parenzano]
(b Parenzo, Istria [now Porec, Croatia], c. 1450; d ?Padua, c. 1500). Italian painter. He was born and probably also educated in Parenzo, Istria, where he studied antique inscriptions. From Parenzo he probably moved to the political and cultural capital of the region, Capodistria. Here, during what appears to have been a prolonged stay, he was able to study other inscriptions and to indulge his passion for antiquity. During this early period he may have been in contact with Giorgio Schiavone, possibly at Zara, as well as with other Dalmatian artists from the group around Francesco Squarcione, for example Marinello da Spalato ( fl second half of the 15th century) (Billanovich, 1981).
