Andriolo di Pagano de Santi (also known as Andriolo da Venezia), Italian sculptor and architect. His first known work is the portal of the Franciscan church of San Lorenzo in Vicenza where the artist is documented between 1342 and 1344. In the same years, he was engaged in Venice at the Ducal Palace where he participated in the realization of the capitals of the portico together with Filippo Calendario and others. In Padua, he was commissioned in 1351 to make the funeral monument of Giacomo II from Carrara, and he also contributed to the tomb of Ubertino da Carrara with sculptures and other details. These monuments were placed first in the church of St. Augustine, then later transferred to the church of the Eremitani, where in 1364 he erected a chapel (later demolished). In 1372 he was commissioned to work for the remodeling of the chapel San Giacomo (today San Felice) in the Basilica di Sant'Antonio, Padua. It was completed after the death of the sculptor by a master Giovanni, probably identifiable as his son. A document dated November 25, 1375 states him dead. //
