Drudus de Trivio
( fl c. 1230–40). Italian marble-worker and sculptor. He was called ‘de Trivio’ from his place of residence in Rome, where he belonged to the group of highly productive marble workers known as the COSMATI. As a sculptor he is to be compared with Vassallettus, with whom he collaborated, although he had another workshop and was occasionally assisted by his son Angelus. All the works definitely attributable to Drudus are liturgical furniture, and he seems not to have laid pavements. Nothing substantial remains of the earliest work attributable to Drudus on the grounds of a signed inscription (destr.) in S Francesca Romana (S Maria Nuova), Rome.
