Antelami, Benedetto degli or Antelmi, Benedetto degli (
fl. 1178–1233). Italian sculptor and architect, responsible for the towering octagonal
Romanesque Baptistry at Parma (1196–1216, but not completed until 1270): the exterior treatment has four tiers of open
colonnaded galleries. Also attributed to him are the pilgrimage-church of Borgo San Donnino (Fidenza—late C12 and early C13), and the Church of Sant'Andrea at Vercelli (1219–26) in which the transition from
Romanesque to
Gothic is clearly expressed.
