Aloisio da Milano, also Aloisio da Carezano, Aleviz Milanets and Alevisio Fryazin (Russian: Алевиз Миланец, Алевиз Фрязин, Алевиз Фрязин Миланец; born c. 15th century) was an Italian architect who worked in the Grand Principality of Moscow from 1494 to c. 1515.
[1] Aloisio da Carezano came to Moscow in 1494, at the invitation of Ivan III, to replace Pietro Antonio Solari as a senior court architect, responsible for fortifications and palaces.
The Fryazin title originates from the old Russian word фрязь (fryaz), derived from frank, that was used to denote people from Northern Italy.
