Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola made a career in technology at a time when the terms of that career were still being set.
The record lists Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola as Italian architect (1507–1573).
Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola was born at Vignola in 1507. His recorded nationality is the Papal States.
This was the period in which observation began to outrank inherited authority, and printing let work reach readers who would never meet its author.
Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola is described as architect and writer.
His principal work is Church of the Gesù. The engineer's achievement usually disappears into infrastructure, which is the point.
His recorded fields of work are architecture.
Working from the Papal States shaped what was possible - the audiences within reach, the institutions that would have him, the language the work first appeared in.
Death came in 1573, at 66. By then the contribution had passed into the settled record.
