Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta (19 June 1417 – 7 October 1468), popularly known as the Wolf of Rimini, was an Italian condottiero and nobleman, a member of the House of Malatesta and lord of Rimini, Fano, and Cesena from 1432. He was widely considered by his contemporaries as one of the most daring military leaders in Italy and commanded the Venetian forces in the 1465 campaign against the Ottoman Empire. He was also a poet and patron of the arts.

Matteo di Andrea de’ Pasti (Verona, ... – Rimini, 1468, active from 1441 AD.). Sculptor, architect and illuminator, Matteo de’ Pasti is known to have worked in Venice in 1441, then Verona and Rimini in 1446. He worked on the cathedral church of Rimini , dedicated to St Francis and commonly known as the Tempio Malatestiano after Sigismondo Malatesta who commissioned its reconstruction. Malatesta and his mistress Isotta degli Atti are the subject of the greater part of de’ Pasti’s work.
