Working chiefly around Padua, Falconetto designed a number of buildings based on classical forms, notably the loggia and odeon in Padua in 1524, which later became part of the Palazzo Giustiniani. A fresco of the Annunciation (1514) (San Pietro Martire) and architectural frescoes painted in 1503 (Cathedral) survive in his native Verona. |
