List of Famous people named Ottaviano

Ottaviano Riario was an Italian condottiero and Lord of Imola and Forlì. Despite his nominal leadership, the real power lay with his mother Caterina Sforza.

Ottaviano Maria Sforza (1475–1545) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Arezzo (1519–1525), Bishop of Lodi, and Titular Patriarch of Alexandria (1541–1545) and Bishop of Terracina, Priverno e Sezze (1541–1545).

Ottaviano di Paoli was an Italian Cardinal.

Ottaviano Nonni, called Il Mascherino, was an Italian architect, sculptor, and painter born in Bologna. Apprentice of Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola, he was active in Emilia and in Rome, where he had been living in the rione of Borgo, in the road still bearing his name.

Ottaviano or Attaviano degli Ubaldini was an Italian cardinal, often known in his own time as simply Il Cardinale.

Ottaviano de' Medici was an Italian politician. He was the ancestor of the Princes of Ottajano line of the Medici family.

Ottaviano Petrucci was an Italian printer. His Harmonice Musices Odhecaton, a collection of chansons printed in 1501, is commonly misidentified as the first book of sheet music printed from movable type. Actually that distinction belongs to the Roman printer Ulrich Han's Missale Romanum of 1476. Nevertheless, Petrucci's later work was extraordinary for the complexity of his white mensural notation and the smallness of his font, and he did in fact print the first book of polyphony using movable type. He also published numerous works by the most highly regarded composers of the Renaissance, including Josquin des Prez and Antoine Brumel.
