( fl 1228–74). Son of Berlinghiero Berlinghieri. His presence at
Lucca from 1232 to 1274 is confirmed by a long series of documents,
of which one (1244) records that he undertook the entire decoration
(untraced) of the deceased Archdeacon’s room. It was to include bird
and other ornamental motifs, according to the wishes of Lombardo,
master of works at Lucca Cathedral.
