Following the footsteps and artworks of Pellegrino de Pellegrini, alias Pellegrino Tibaldi (1527−1596), an innovative Italian Mannerist painter, sculptor and architect. In Rome, under the influence of Michelangelo, Tibaldi decorated Pope Paul III’s apartment at the Castel Sant’Angelo. In Pavia and Milan, he served as an architect for Cardinal Charles Borromeo.
