(1) Pietro Bernini
(b Sesto Fiorentino, 5 May 1562; d Rome, 29 Aug 1629). Sculptor. He appears to have begun his artistic training in the workshop of the sculptor Ridolfo Sirigatti. Around 1580 he travelled to Rome, where he may have worked at the Vatican and with Antonio Tempesta and other painters for Cardinal Alessandro Farnese at Caprarola. According to Baglione, after this experience he returned to Rome and dedicated himself to the study of sculpture, having demonstrated a special talent for marble carving. No work has been identified from this period.
