Milanese painter and architect; b. about 1455; d. after 1536.
He was practising painting in Milan when Bramante came there about 1472, and seems to have become his pupil and assistant.

A volume of drawings in the Bibliotheca Ambrosiana at Milan is ascribed to him, and has been published in facsimile by Giuseppe Mongeri: Le Rovine di Roma al principio del Secolo XVI, Studi del Bramantino (Milan, 1880).
