Pierino da Vinci

(b Vinci, c. 1529; d Pisa, 1553). Italian sculptor, nephew of LEONARDO DA VINCI. His brief life was characterized by a precocious and promising sculptural career. He began his apprenticeship in Baccio Bandinelli's Florence workshop when he was about 12 but transferred shortly afterwards to that of Niccol? Tribolo; at the time Tribolo was working on the monumental fountains for the gardens of the Medici villa at Castello, near Florence. Pierino's first works, which can be dated after 1544, are a series of putti so similar in style to Tribolo's as to cause frequent misattributions. Among them are the Putto with a Mask (marble, h. 560 mm; Arezzo, Gal. & Mus. Med. & Mod.) made for a fountain; the Putti Holding a Coat of Arms (pietra serena, h. 430 mm; fragments, London, V&A); and two Putti with a Fish (terracotta, h. 650 mm; London, V&A).

Eponym Leonardo da Vinci

Alfredo is a lunar crater that is located in the eastern part of the Moon, to the northwest of Mare Fecunditatis. It lies along the eastern shore of the Sinus Concordiae, a bay along the eastern edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. Nearby craters include Watts to the southeast and Lawrence to the southwest, both smaller in dimension than da Vinci.

This formation has been heavily damaged and reshaped until it is scarcely recognizable as a crater. Sections of the low eastern rim and a portion to the northwest are still somewhat intact, although they more closely resemble curved ridges than a crater wall. There are gaps in the rim to the south and north, and the interior is irregular with portions having been resurfaced.

The terrain along the northern and western exterior of the crater is irregular and hilly. A low ridge to the southeast runs to the vicinity of Watts crater.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to 'da Vinci' crater.
