GIROLAMO DA BRESCIA

Italian original Cite

JEROME OF BRESCIA. - Benedictine architect, born in the second half of the 15th century and active in the early years of the 16th century. Architect of the cloister of S. Giustina in Padua, in 1501 he also provided the model for the church.

But he was able to carry out the construction only until 1504; among his successors, after Sebastiano da Lugano (1515), was that Andrea Riccio who in 1516 provided another model. He is said to have died at Parenzo, where he was staying to quarry stones for the construction of the church. It has also been supposed that he may be the same person who is remembered as "chief master mason" of S. Benedetto in Ferrara.
