Benedict Briosco

-

Benedetto Briosco - born in Pavia about 1460, d. in Pavia circa 1517 - sculptor and architect of the Italian Renaissance. Its activity dates back to 1477-1517. Signature of Benedetto Briosco and Tommaso Cazzanigi preserved in Milan

One of his documented works is the tomb of Ambrogio Grifi (1489), in a chapel in the San Pietro in Gessate church in Milan. This tombstone is characterized by raw realism. He refers to the work of another artist, Giovanni Antonio Amadeo. Other works bearing the influence of Amadeo and collaboration with Francesco Cazzaniga include the Monumento Brivio in Sant'Eustorgio (1489) and the Monumento Della Torre in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie (1483-1484) in Milan. His works include the Statue of St. Agnieszka from 1491 at the Duomo Duomo in Milan. Portal in Certosa di Pavia - by B. Briosco

Starting in 1492, Briosco is working on the construction of the Certosa di Pavia and together with Amadeo participates in the decoration of the façade, and from 1494 also the mausoleum of Gian Galeazzo Visconti (led by Giovanni Cristoforo Romano), carving the statue of Our Lady with the Child Lawrence and Peter, Magdalene, St. Peter and Christ in glory. From around 1495 there is also the Monumento Longhignana, originally located in San Pietro in Gessate, and today in the chapel of Boromeus Palace on the island of Isola Bella. In 1499 he became the successor of Amadeo as head of works on the façade of Certos. The result was a classic church portal with four columns (1501-1507). His works include large reliefs showing the influence of Leonardo da Vinci, depicting the history of Certos. From that time also the Ark of St. Peter and Marcelin in the cathedral of Cremona (1506-1513) and the tomb of Ludovico II in the church of Sts. John in Saluzzo (1508-1512).

Briosco is considered one of the most eminent successors of Amadeo, to which style has joined the classicizing tendency in sculpture, perhaps thanks to the contact with Giovanni Cristoforo Romano.

indexation

-
Indexing (Latin) - a system of linking wages, prices or interest rates to a specific economic indicator (usually the base inflation rate), a change in the value of this indicator results in a proportional change in wages, prices or interest rates. The indexation can also be described as a conversion of a parameter value (eg pay) based on an indicator showing the change in a factor affecting the value of the parameter (eg inflation). Application The indexation is applied by the state - eg when paying pensions - with the increase in inflation the nominal value of the service increases. The state should also index the boundaries of the tax brackets. When it does not, citizens nominally earn more, but they also "fall into" higher and higher tax brackets, for which they have to pay higher taxes. In addition, when the state does not ideate a tax-free amount, citizens actually pay more and more taxes because the tax base increases. Indexes are used by banks - with the increas...
