FUSINA, ANDREA. - Italian sculptor and architect, d. in Milan in 1526. He is the author in Milan of many funerary monuments, the first of which, dated 1495, is the sarcophagus of Archbishop Birago in S. Maria della Passione.
For the Cathedral he executed the statue of Judas Maccabeus and, perhaps, that of the Magdalene; from 1517 there is the monument of Bishop Bagaroto, now at the Castello Sforzesco, coming from S. Maria della Pace; from the same year that of Giovanni Tolentino, at the Incoronata. He also worked at the Certosa di Pavia, while other works of his are at Saronno, Monza and Lodi (in the Cathedral, monument of Bassiano da Ponte, 1510). In 1527 he was appointed architect of the cathedral of Milan. Turned predominantly toward decorative research, he derives his motifs, often of great refinement, from the Certosa di Pavia and from the Lombard tradition of Amadeo and his followers.
