Biography
Despite being called "de Venezia", there is no evidence of any activity in Venice. It is mentioned for the first time in Pavia in documents of October 8, 1391, in the service of Duke Gian Galeazzo Visconti, and that the Italian requests it. This proves that he had a certain reputation and that he had already been busy for some time with important work. Although there are no more precise documents, he was then probably building the castle of Pavia, where there are some similarities with the Gothic architecture of Venice.[1], especially in the four-arched loggia and the trefoil arches of the inner courtyard, with terracotta decorations and openwork. He also took part in other important works in Pavia including the construction of the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, probably begun around 1390, continued until 1397 (interrupted) and that of the Certosa di Pavia[2][3]
