He is sometimes identified with the
Venetian sculptor Alvise Lamberti da Montagnana. On his way to Russia, Aloisio was captured by
Meñli I Giray, the
khan of
Crimea. It combined features of early Venetian architecture with Old Russian architecture. The cathedral's elaborate Renaissance ornamentation was extensively copied throughout 16th-century Russia. He also built the in 1508. Aloisio the New was last mentioned in 1514, when he was entrusted by
Vasili III to build 11 churches in
Moscow. Although only parts of these structures have been preserved, there is enough evidence to assume that they were built in strikingly differing styles. The best preserved of these churches is the
katholikon of the
Vysokopetrovsky Monastery in
Moscow (1514–17), considered the earliest
rotunda in Russia. ==References==
