Together with his brother Lorenzo Bregno (c. 1475-1525), Giovanni Battista Bregno (b. 1467-77, d. after 1518) had a large workshop in Venice during the first years of the 16th century. The Italian sculptors, part of a family of sculptors and architects, were active in the 15th and the early 16th century. One of the most important and extensive family dynasties in Italian Renaissance sculpture, the Bregni came from the village of Righeggia, near Osteno on Lake Lugano. Active primarily in northern Italy (Lombardy, Emilia, and the Veneto), a few Bregni also worked in central Italy. Several Bregno artists are documented, although the precise familial relationship between most of them is still unclear. The most important artists in the family were Antonio Bregno, Andrea Bregno, Giovanni Battista Bregno and Lorenzo Bregno. - Text in English.
