Description:
(Italian Sculptor)
Bonanno Pisano was a 12th-century Italian sculptor. He combined Byzantine and classical elements in his works. He was the creator of the bronze Porta Reale of the cathedral of Pisa, which was destroyed in the great fire of 1595. Mafia boss Joseph Bonanno claimed to be a descendant of Pisano, although there is no evidence to support this claim.
