Orazio Fontana was an Italian architect and sculptor who lived during the Renaissance. Born in Rome in 1510, he was the son of the painter Francesco Fontana. Orazio Fontana was trained as a sculptor and worked for a time in the studio of Michelangelo. Fontana is best known for his work as an architect and was responsible for designing several important buildings in Rome. One of his most important projects was the Palazzo della Cancelleria, which he worked on from 1546 to 1550. This palace was built for the Papal Chancellery and is considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance architecture in Rome. Fontana also designed the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri, which was built on the ruins of the ancient Roman Baths of Diocletian. This church is notable for its innovative design, which incorporates the ancient Roman structure into the new building. In addition to his work as an architect, Fontana also created several sculptures, including a statue of St Peter for St Peter's Basilica in Rome. He died in 1571, leaving a legacy of important architectural works that continue to inspire and influence architects today.
