Unghero, Nanni [Giovanni d’Alesso d’Antonio]
(b Florence, c. 1490; d Florence, 31 May 1546). Italian carpenter, wood-carver, architect and military engineer. He trained in carpentry with his father and by 1510 had his own workshop. Through the patronage of Baccio d’Agnolo, architect of the Florentine Opera del Duomo, Nanni may have gained his first known commission, for two altars (1510; destr.) in the cathedral, as well as work on the palace and villas that Baccio built for the Bartolini family in the second decade of the century.
