Name[edit]

Venetian form of his name and surname is Nicolo Brancaleon. GhePeU 20:49, 30 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I was wondering about this, should the article be renamed to "Nicolò Brancaleon?" Or is the Venetian naming custom such that his common name would be simply "Brancaleon?" For comparison's sake, most people know of the artist Michelangelo, fewer know him as Michelangelo Buonarroti, though that is how the Wikipedia article is named. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 14:15, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There isn't a general naming custom, Venetian (and Italian) artists of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and later ages can be known by name, surname or nickname, usually it depends on practices started centuries ago. For example, Jacopo Robusti is known by his nickname Tintoretto, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo is usually referred as Tiepolo (his family name) and Tiziano Vecellio is known as Tiziano (his personal name). Nicolò Brancaleon isn't famous, so moving the article to Nicolò Brancaleon could be justified. GhePeU 15:05, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
