Born in Loro Ciuffenna, Tuscany, he spent his artistic career in Venice from 1512 onwards.[2] He was known for sculpture of busts in marble and bronze all'antica.[3][4] Bianco was highly regarded by Johann Christoph Fugger and Pietro Aretino, and by Giorgio Vasari who gave him a brief mention in his Lives of the Artists.[5]
