Cristoforo Foppa
Cristoforo (known as Caradosso) Foppa (1445 – c. 1527) was an Italian goldsmith, sculptor, and die sinker. According to some sources he was born at Mondonico]/Olgiate Molgora in the Province of Lecco, and according to others in Pavia. It is possible that this artist is not correctly known as Ambrogio, but that his Christian name was Cristoforo. He was in the service of Lodovico Il Moro, Duke of Milan, for some years, and executed for him a medal and several pieces of goldsmith's work. He worked in Hungary in the service of King Matthias Corvinus, probably in August 1489; a later visit to the court was cut short by the King's death in 1490. Later on he is heard of in Rome, working for Popes Julius II and Leo X. His will was executed in 1526 and he is believed to have died in the following year. Giorgio Vasari refers at some length to a medal struck by him in Rome, having upon it a representation of Bramante and his design for St. Peter's Basilica, and he speaks of him as "the ...

Cristoforo Orimina
Cristoforo Orimina was an Italian illuminator of the 14th century. He was a painter at the court of Robert of Naples and of Joan I of Naples. The Orimini were a patrician family of Naples, belonging to the noble '' seggio'' of Capuana. The family's residence was in what is now the Via dei Cimbri. Cristoforo identified himself on the last leaf of an illuminated manuscript Bible.Samantha Kelly, ''The New Solomon: Robert of Naples (1309-1343) and Fourteenth-Century Kingship'' (Leiden, 2003), p. 32. Stylistic comparison allows numerous other manuscript illuminations to be attributed to Cristoforo's hand or workshop. One of the best known of these works is the Hamilton Bible The ''Hamilton Bible'' (Berlin, Kupferstichkabinett 78 E 3) is a fourteenth-century illuminated manuscript Bible, commissioned by the Angevin court in Naples and illustrated by the workshop of Cristoforo Orimina around 1350. It was part of the ..., now in Berlin. References Sources *C. De Clercq, "Le min ...

Cristoforo Munari
Cristoforo Munari (July 21, 1667 – June 3, 1720) was an Italian painter in the Baroque period specializing in still life paintings. He was also known as ''Cristofano Monari''. His initial training was in Reggio Emilia, his birthplace, and he came under the patronage of Rinaldo d'Este, Duke of Modena. In 1703-1706, he lived in Rome, then moved to Florence, where for about a decade he was attached to the court of the Medici. His still life paintings recall those of Evaristo Baschenis; however, the added disarray of porcelain, glass, and foodstuffs, suggest the hangover from the jovial surfeit of the Medici court. He painted also panoplies and war trophies. In 1715 he moved to Pisa, where he worked almost exclusively in art restoration The conservation and restoration of cultural property focuses on protection and care of cultural property (tangible cultural heritage), including artworks, architecture, archaeology, and museum collections.

Cristoforo Moretti
Cristoforo Moretti (documented in Lombardy and Piedmont 1451 – 1475) was a Lombard painter of the quattrocento who worked in a late International Gothic style very similar to that of Michelino da Besozzo’s last period.
