Francesco Anichini (fl. 1449–1526) had four sons who followed him in the art. He was the leading gem-cutter in Venice, taking commissions from Isabella d'Este and others.
His sons were:
- Alvise Anichini (dates uncertain)
- Andrea Anichini (fl. 1526–1553)
- Callisto Anichini (a. 1527–c. 1553), a jewelry-maker,
- Luigi Anichini (b. 1500 x 1510, d. after 1559) Michelangelo pronounced his Interview of Alexander the Great with the high-priest at Jerusalem "the perfection of the art".[1] His medals of Henry II of France and Pope Paul III are greatly valued.[1]
