Dionisio Nencioni di Bartolomeo (1559, Florence - 1638, Naples) was an Italian architect, mainly active in Naples, to which he moved in 1584. He worked on the Hieronymite church from 1587 until his death, in collaboration with Giovanni Antonio Dosio. [1]

In 1607 he took part in the competition to design the Royal Chapel of the Treasure of St. Januarius, alongside other architects working in Naples such as Francesco Grimaldi, Giovan Battista Cavagna, Giulio Cesare Fontana, Michelangelo Naccherino, Giovan Giacomo Di Conforto, Giovanni Cola di Franco and Ceccardo Bernucci, but his design did not win. [2] In 1612 he worked on the Gesù e Maria Complex and from 1604 to 1632 as one of the architects of San Giuseppe dei Ruffi. In 1631 he made some assessments of the work already done at certosa di San Martino. He spent his final years finishing working on the Gerolamini church (even joining the Hieronymites himself in 1637), which was only completed in 1639. [3]

Giovanni Francesco Rustici

Giovan Francesco Rustici, or Giovanni Francesco Rustici, (1475–1554) was an Italian Renaissance painter and sculptor. He was born into a noble family of Florence, with an independent income. Rustici profited from study of the Medici sculpture in the garden at San Marco, and according to Giorgio Vasari, Lorenzo de' Medici placed him in the studio of Verrocchio, and that after Verrocchio's departure for Venice, he placed himself with Leonardo da Vinci, who had also trained in Verocchio's workshop. He shared lodgings with Leonardo while he was working on the bronze figures for the Florence Baptistry, for which he was ill paid and resolved, according to Vasari, not to work again on a public commission. Moreover, an echo of Leonardo's inspiration is unmistakable in the much-discussed and much-reviled wax bust of "Flora" in Berlin, ascribed to a circle of Leonardo and most probably to Rustici. At this time, Pomponius Gauricus, in De sculptura (1504), named him one of the principal sculptors of Tuscany, the peer of Benedetto da Maiano, Andrea Sansovino and Michelangelo. It may have been made in France, perhaps in the circle of Rustici, who entered Francis I's service in 1528.
