Bono (Buono), Giovanni ("Zane Bon")
architect and sculptor.

Giovanni was the founder of an important family of Venetian architects and sculptors of the fifteenth century. The customary attribution to the Bono of the northwestern portion of the Doges' Palace, on the Piazetta, is without foundation in the documents. The Domus Magna dei Contarini a S. Sofia, now called the Ca' d' Oro on the Canal Grande, was begun in 1421. A copy of the contract, dated January 18, 1422, between Marino Contarini and "Zane Bon taiapiera," for work to be done on this building still exists. Giovanni's name appears frequently in the Contarini records and other contracts. The chief work of the Bono is the Porta della Carta between the Doges' Palace and S. Marco. The contract made between Giovanni Bono and the Provveditori del Sale, dated November 10, 1438, is given by Paoletti. His will is dated March 25, 1442. Other works in Venice are ascribed to him conjecturally.




Hittorff, Jacques Ignace
architect; b. August 20, 1793; d. March 25, 1867.

Hittorff was born at Cologne and naturalized as a French citizen. He was a pupil of Charles Percier. Between 1819 and 1823 he visited England, Germany, Italy, and Sicily. After 1825 he built with Lepère the church of S. Vincent de Paul, Paris. About 1831 he was architect of the Parisian prisons. In 1833, as the result of a competition, he was made architect of the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Êlysées, and the Place de l'Étoile. In the Place de la Concorde he built the pedestal of the obelisk, placed the statues of the cities of France, and completed the decoration, lamps, fountains, etc. From 1844 to 1866 Hittorff was architect of the Column of the Place Vendôme, Paris. The Neo Grec movement received much help from him; and the church of S. Vincent de Paul is often spoken of as a monument of the style. In 1864 he was made general inspector of the Conseil des bâtiment civils. He won a first-class medal at the exposition of 1855. In association with Zanth Hittorff published Architecture Moderne de la Sicile (one vol. folio, Paris, 1835), and Architecture Antique de la Sicile, recueil des monuments de Ségeste et de Sélinonte (text one vol. 4to, plates one vol. folio, Paris, 1870). He published alone Restitution du Temple d'Empedocle à Sélinonte; ou l'Architecture polychrome chez les Grecs (text 4to, atlas folio, Paris, 1851).




Perréal, Jean (Jehan De Paris)
b. 1463 ; d. about 1529.

As early as 1486 he resided at Lyons, France. March 25, 1493, he commenced the church of the Cordeliers in that city, and in the same year was charged with the restoration of the arches of the Pont du Rhône at Lyons. In 1494 he accompanied the expedition of Charles VIII into Italy. In 1499 he was contrôleur général des bâtiments of the city of Lyons. For Anne, queen of Louis XII, he designed the monument of François II, Duke of Brittany, for the cathedral of Nantes, which was executed by Michel Colombe, 1502-1556. In 1505 he was commissioned by Marguerite d'Autriche to make the plans of the monastery and church of Brou at Bourg-en-Bresse (Eure-et-Loire), and in 1510 was made contrôleur of the works. In 1513 he was replaced at Brou by the Flemish architect, Van Boghem.
