Bernardino Delle Croci
Bernardino delle Croci (born Parma; died between 1528–1530 in Brescia) was an Italian goldsmith and sculptor of the Brescian Renaissance. He was the founder of the Delle Croci family of important goldsmiths and sculptors, known for their specialism in processional crosses, reliquaries and altars. Life Bernardino, born in Parma, was the son of Giacomino. The exact year of his birth is not known; it is likely to have been in the middle of the fifteenth century. His presence in Brescia is documented by a 1486 estimus stating he lives near the Porta Bruciata. However, this was not the year he arrived in Brescia: in 1487, he received the balance of payment for the pedestal of the reliquary of the Holy Cross in the Duomo Vecchio, which had been commissioned following deliberations by the city's special council on 12 August 1474. A contract from 23 March 1477 documents his agreement to work on a tabernacle for the Dominican friars. Attached to the School of the Blessed Sacrament of ...

Duomo Nuovo (Brescia)
''Duomo'' (, ) is an Italian term for a church with the features of, or having been built to serve as, a cathedral, whether or not it currently plays this role. Monza Cathedral, for example, has never been a diocesan seat and is by definition not a cathedral. On the other hand, the city of Trevi no longer has a bishop, although it once did, and the erstwhile cathedral of Emilianus of Trevi is now a mere church. By contradistinction, the Italian word for a cathedral ''sensu stricto'' is ''cattedrale''. There is no direct translation of "duomo" into English, leading to many such churches being erroneously called "cathedral" in English, regardless of whether the church in question hosts a bishop. Many people refer to particular churches simply as ''il Duomo'', the ''Duomo'', without regard to the full proper name of the church. Similar words exist in other European languages: ''Dom'' (German), ''dom'' (Romanian), ''dóm'' ( Hungarian and Slovak), ''dôme'' (French), ''domo'' ...
