Lodovico Beretta is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Lodovico Beretta as Italian architect.
Lodovico Beretta was born at Brescia in 1518.
The Renaissance made the architect an individual with a signature, a theory and a reputation, working from drawings rather than on site.
He is recorded as architect.
Among his best-known works are Palazzo Beretta, Palazzo Maggi Gambara and Palazzo Uggeri. Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
Lodovico Beretta died in 1572, aged 54. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
