Lombardo, Cristoforo [il Lombardino]
(b Milan, ?1480–90; d Milan, Oct 1555). Italian sculptor and architect. He first trained as a mason, probably in the workshop of Milan Cathedral, but then dedicated himself to sculpture and is first recorded as a sculptor in a payment made to him by the Veneranda Fabbrica in 1510. In 1513–14 he went to Rome and on his return to Milan was readmitted among the sculptors at the cathedral. He collaborated on commissions accepted by BAMBAIA, including the funerary monument of Lancino Curzio in 1515 (Milan, Castello Sforzesco) and, in the following years, the monument to Gaston de Foix (dismembered; fragment in Milan, Ambrosiana).
