Bernardino Radi (2 December 1581 – 29 May 1643) was an Italian engraver and architect, born in Cortona, who etched a set of plates depicting architectural ornaments and monuments, published in Rome in 1618, under the title of Varie invenzoni per depositi di Bernardino Radi Cortonese.[1]
The entrance portico of San Jacopo sopr'Arno in Florence was remade in 1580 by Radi.[2] He helped design the rose window for the church of Santa Maria Nuova, Cortona.[3]
