Giovanni Antonio Tagliente (sometimes written Giovannantonio) (c. 1460s - c. 1528) was a calligrapher, author, printer and publisher based in Venice during the Renaissance period. Tagliente began his life as a calligrapher and taught around Italy before returning to Venice in 1491. He worked for the Venetian Chancery and was given a sinecure by the senate, becoming a publisher late in life.
