ANTONIO GAMBELLO DA SAN ZACCARIA
ALSO known as Antonio di Marco, was from 1458 architect to the church of S. Zac-
caria, and worked also as sculptor. He died after 1479, and before 26 Feb. 1481. It is
suggested that he may have been the author of the medal of Francesco Foscari signed
an, which has considerable sculpturesque quality, and is clearly not by the same hand as
the medal of Cristoforo Moro signed ant. Vettor Gambello, the medallist, was his son.

ANTONELLO (GRIFO) KNOWN AS ANTONELLO DELLA MONETA
ANTONELLO DI PIETRO, known by the above names and also described as orefice,
was employed as engraver at the Venetian mint from 1454 (perhaps from 1447) to 1484.
The medal of Cristoforo Moro described below, signed ant, contrasts with the medal
of Francesco Foscari signed an in its more precise and sharper treatment, suggesting
the hand of a die-engraver. It may therefore be conjecturally attributed to Antonello.

MARCO GUIDIZANI
THERE is no record of this medallist other than the four medals described below,
which show (by the chronology of the subjects) that he was working in Venice about
1454-62. His medals betray a clumsy but vigorous appreciation of the antique and
a slight acquaintance with the Latin language.
