Pietro Benvenuto degli Ordini of Ferrara (working second half of the 15th century) was the court architect of Borso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara. [1] In the Castello Estense, Ferrara, he was responsible for the courtyard and the splendid external staircase of honour erected in 1481; it dominates the piazza. [2]

He was also responsible for the Palazzo Schifanoia, where he was called upon in 1465 to remodel and extend the structure and to develop a ducal apartment on an upper level. At Schifanoia he was succeeded by his assistant Biagio Rossetti. [3]
