Tiburzio Vergelli

Born in Camerino, Vergelli was a highly skilled metal smelter.

He trained in the workshop of Antonio Calcagni and Girolamo Lombardo in Recanati.

His first work is the statue of Pope Sixtus V, given to his hometown Camerino.

This generated a split between the two, who subsequently contributed separately to the main door of the Basilica della Santa Casa; Calcagni was entrusted to the door of the south side, and the north side was given to Vergelli.

Vergelli worked with Sebastian Sebastiani and Giovan Battista Vitali for the baptismal font between 1600 and 1608.
