The time period Quattrocento in Italian architecture is when the styles of the
Renaissance were really clarified and made obvious. Its style is really based on
classical Roman architecture. The first Renaissance architect to become very successful in this time period was Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446.) He can be found in the most historical
documents on the Quattrocento meaning he must of been a very dominant architect
and create buildings and have a lot of knowledge to grab many people's attention
throughout Italy. Also, Italian architects seemed to have an interest in Greek
ruins and styles. Historians can justify this through classical texts on
architecture which seemed to focus on the inspiration the Roman and Greek style
gave architects living during the Renaissance.

Some parts of the High Renaissance are the same as the Quattrocento but on a bigger scale. The most representative architect is Donato Bramante (1444-1514) who made the switch
from classical buildings to a more contemporary style. And once again, a lot of
the architects' style is based on classical Roman style. But, it was really
Bramante's style that dominated the High Renaissance style.

In the Mannerism period, many architects experimented with the idea of
emphasizing solid and spatial relationships in their architecture. The
Renaissance idea of harmony was replaced with a more imaginative and less strict
style. A very famous example of an architect from the Mannerism
period was Michelangelo (1475-1564.) Michelangelo is said to
have created the pilaster that stretches form the bottom to the top of a facade.
