Filarete

Florentine architect, sculptor and architectural theorist
Years: 1400 - 1469

Antonio di Pietro Averlino (c. 1400 – c. 1469), also "Averulino", known as Filarete (from Greek for "lover of excellence"), is a Florentine Renaissance architect, sculptor and architectural theorist.

He is perhaps best remembered for his design of the ideal city of Sforzinda, the first ideal city plan of the Renaissance.
