..., Pietro (or Pietro Torrigiani ) ( b Florence, 22 Nov. 1472 ; d Seville, July/Aug. 1528 ). Florentine sculptor, active outside Italy for most of his career, particularly in England. He trained under Bertoldo in the Medici ‘academy’ and in a quarrel he broke the nose of his fellow student Michelangelo , permanently disfiguring him.

..., Pietro or Pietro Torrigiani ( 1472–1528 ), Italian sculptor, born in Florence, where he was trained in the Medici sculpture collection by Bertoldo di Giovanni and later specialized in terracotta statues and busts.

He left Florence for Rome (where he worked in the Borgia apartments in the Vatican in 1493 ), Bologna, and Siena, becoming a soldier and...
