Giovanni Antonio Nicolini da Sabbio

Giovanni Antonio Nicolini da Sabbio (* around 1500, Sabbio Chiese ; † 1546/47, Venice ) was an Italian printer.

He was probably born shortly before 1500 in Sabbio Chiese, a small town near Brescia . He was the eldest son of Torrino Nicolini and brother of Stefano , Pietro , Giacomo, Lodovico and Giovanni Maria.

He went to Venice and founded a printing company there, in which some brothers worked. The first print under her name ( Zuane Antonio & fradelli da Sabio ) is dated for 1512 , possibly a misprint for 1522. In the period that followed, numerous prints in Italian, Latin and Greek appeared under his name. Giovanni Antonio was mentioned several times in the city's files.

He died in Venice in late 1546 or early 1547. The printing house was continued by Pietro and Giovanni Maria.
