Years: 1472 - 1472
Leon Battista Alberti had begun his design for the Church of Sant' Andrea in Mantua, commissioned by Ludovico III Gonzaga, in 1462, employing his characteristic classical correctness, use of monumental mass, and emphasis on geometric relationships.
The building, however, will be finished only three hundred and twenty-eight years later.
Though later changes and expansions will alter Alberti's design, the church is still considered to be one of Alberti's most complete works.
He dies on April 25, 1472.
