Biography
Biography
Malvito is mentioned for the first time as an autonomous artist in 1484, in his Naples workshop which he held until in 1508, together with his son Giovanni Tommaso Malvito. He worked with painter Francesco da Milano on the tomb of the prioress of the local convent of S. In the 1490s he worked on the Cathedral of Naples crypt (Succorpo, commissioned by Cardinal Oliviero Carafa, though the statue there is generally attributed to Giovanni Tommaso), and the marble portal of Santissima Annunziata Maggiore.
Tommaso Malvito (1401–1508) was a sculptor and architect.
