Vgo (stonemason)
Vgo signature with sickle-shaped G inside Apt Crypt
Vgo, or Ugo, for "Hugues", was a stonemason active in Provence during the twelfth century. He left his signature on several Romanesque religious edifices in Provence and mainly in Tricastin:
- Vaison Cathedral
- Notre Dame d'
- St Blaise de
- St Sepulchre Chapel in Beaumont

He is not to be confused with Master Hugo, an English artist of the same century.
