Vavassore, Giovanni Andrea (active 1530-1573)

Giovanni Andrea Vavassore (fl. 1530-1573) was a Venetian who was active in the mid-sixteenth century. Vavassore (who was also known as Guadagnino) produced at least one pattern book for embroidery, including Modano (Tuscan filet) and for drawn work. He is particularly known for his Corona di Racammi ('Crown of Embroidery'), which was published in 1530 and reprinted two years later.
