Giovanni Francesco Mormando

Giovanni Francesco Mormando (Mormanno 1449 - Naples 1530) was an Italian architect active in Naples, Italy.

Small church of Santa Maria della Stella alle Paparelle.

He helped designing the church of Santi Severino e Sossio. He also worked on the Chiesetta della Stella (Santa Maria della Stella alle Paparelle), and the Palazzo Filomarini for the Principe della Rocca. He is said to have met with and worked in the style of Leon Battista Alberti. The architect Sigismondo di Giovanni, who designed the Seggio di Nido and the cupola for the church of Santi Severino e Sossio, was his pupil. He traveled to Spain, to work for Ferdinand of Aragon, where he died. He putatively designed his home in Naples, Palazzo Mormando, located on via San Gregorio Armeno.

gollark: Unfathomable quoting horror, lol no algebraic data types, poor error handling, bad control structures, essentially zero type system...
