The Pisani were an Italian family of sculptors and architects in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, whose activities were confered in Pisa. They were influential in the renaissance of Italian sculpture, developing and spreading the new movement to many parts of Italy.

Andrew Pisano executed the south unit of the three bronze doors in the Florentine baptistry, and while at Florence also produced many works of marble sculpture.

Giovanni Pisano was employed by Charles of Anjou on the Castel Nuovo at Naples, executed the Campo Santo at Pisa, and became architect of the new cathedral at Siena in 1290.

The marble pulpit for the Pisan baptistry is considered the finest work of Niccola Pisano, while the pulpit in Siena Cathedral is the most magnificent, though not the most beautiful, of his works.
