Abstract
Tommaso Ravenna, alias Rangone, alias Filologo, was one of the most influential persons in sixteenthcentury century Venice. In 1552 the doctor astrologist founded a boarding school in Padova, but the building was heavily damaged by a blaze in 1559 and finally destroyed in 1918. A hitherto unpublished document proves that Jacopo Sansovino, who had already been appointed by Ravenna on various other occasions, also designed a brick cornice implemented during the restoration of the building in 1560.
