MOCCHI, LORENZO CIGLIA
MOCCHI, LORENZO CIGLIA (Ital.). Sculptor and Medallist, of the end of the fifteenth century, who, according to the noteworthy conjecture of G. Milanesi may be identified with the so-called MÉDAILLEUR A LA FORTUNE (q.v. Vol. II, 127). Hern von Fabriczy does not pronounce against this attribution, which appears quite reasonable, as the medal of Lorenzo Ciglia Mocchi (illustrated) is signed on R. L.C.M., which initials can only represent the name of Mocchi. All the eight medals bearing on R. a nude...

MODERNO
MODERNO (ltal.). Sculptor and Medallist of the end of the fifteenth century and first half of the sixteenth. Eug. Müntz has suggested his identification with GIOVANNI GUERINO, Mint-engraver at Rome, 1548-1549 (Vide Vol. II, p. 336), but Molinier seems nearer the truth in naming CAMELIO (Vittore Gambello), a Venetian artist, 1460-1539, with whose works Moderno's productions bear great analogy. It is quite clear that MODERNO is only a cognomen, as L'ANTICO which designated the Medallist Pier Giaco...
