Arte dei Maestri di Pietra e Legname

The Arte dei Maestri di Pietra e Legname was one of the Guilds of Florence that represented the Master stonemasons, wood-carvers, and sculptors. It was founded before 1236,[1] and it came to absorb multiple building crafts in the Florence area.[2] It was one of the five Arti Maggiori ("middle trades")

It was listed as Muratori e Scarpellini (builders and stonemasons) in a 1236 list of the guilds, and listed fifth in precedence among the minor guilds although it was raised to fourth in 1280, when the tanners and curriers were relegated.
