Francesco da Sangallo, also known as Francesco Giamberti, was an Italian sculptor, architect, and military engineer who was active during the Italian Renaissance. He is known primarily for being the favored architect of Lorenzo de' Medici, for whom he designed a villa, a monastery, and a church. He also worked for Popes Julius II and Leo X, and was influenced by Leon Battista Alberti and Filippo Brunelleschi. His sons, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Francesco da Sangallo, were also important Renaissance figures. He founded a major Tuscan family of architects and artists who assumed the name Sangallo, and was the grandfather of Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, Bastiano da Sangallo, and Francesco da Sangallo.
