• Resumen

  • Through a systematic re-reading of archival documents, this article offers a precise review of the sculptures of the lateral portals of the inner façade of San Petronio in Bologna, clarifying the collaboration of Alfonso Lombardi and Francesco da Milano in the period 1527-1529. One can thus follow Francesco's evolution from simple stonecutter to sculptor, together with his brother Martino, in contact with the individuals who were active on the façade of the basilica, and in particular his contribution to the stone sculptures on the gables; the "Saint Dominic" begun by Zaccaria Zacchi in 1526 is also discussed. The author draws attention to the close interaction between Lombardi and Niccolò Tribolo, who was in Bologna between 1525 and 1527. Finally, a consideration of Alfonso's stucco work on the gables provides an opportunity to assess how Tuscan-Roman decorative types (also adopted in these years by Giulio Romano at the Palazzo Te in Mantua) stood in relation to the Emilian terracotta tradition.
