Galeazzo Alessi
Galeazzo Alessi (1512–1572) was an Italian architect born in Perugia. There he trained and studied Roman ruins before moving to Genoa in 1548.
He modernized the harbour fortifications with the Porta del Molo and built palaces along the new Strada Nuova, designs later copied by the young Rubens. From 1549 he spent decades on the Basilica of Santa Maria in Carignano, modelled on Bramante's scheme for St Peter's. In Milan he designed Palazzo Marino. Around 1561 he returned to Perugia, where he died in 1572.
