Giorgio Spavento was an Italian Renaissance architect and engineer, active in Venice. Probably native to the area of Lake Como, he is first recorded in 1486 when he was appointed as proto to the Procurators of Saint Mark. As such, he was responsible for most of the public buildings around Saint Mark's Square. He designed the sacristy of the Church of St Mark, the belfry of St Mark's campanile, and the Church of San Teodoro. His principal work is the Church of San Salvador, which was completed by Tullio Lombardo and Jacopo Sansovino.
