Rossellino

Sculptor, brother of Bernardo, son of Donatello, born 1427 in Settignano. In Florence he was known as "Rossellino del Proconsolo", because he had his workshop in the via del Proconsolo. His sculptures are distributed all over Italy - the most famous one, the tomb for the cardinal Jacob of Portugal, can be found in the church San Miniato on the Monte alle Croci in Florence (near Piazzale Michelangelo). In honour of the brotheres Rossellino we have called our Enoteca after them. Damiano can tell you more stories about the brothers during your stay in our Enoteca.
