description

Born probably at Carrara, renowned for its marble quarries, Cattaneo went to Rome as a youth and entered the workshop of Jacopo Sansovino.  After the sack of the city in 1527, both sculptors left for Venice, where Cattaneo built an independent career.  His funerary monuments and portrait busts in marble and bronze earned him a place as one of the leading sculptors of the city. Cattaneo also worked on major commissions in Padua and maintained contacts with friends and patrons in his native Tuscany.
