*Italy, Francesco I da Carrara (1325-93), bronze medal (struck), as Lord of Padua (1350-88), carro, rev., helm, 29mm (Hill 6), about very fine Gothic style medals such as this were struck for the Carrara family in the late 14th century for placing in the walls and under the foundation stones of buildings.

*Italy, Enrico Bruni (died 1509), secretary to Pope Alexander VI and Archbishop of Taranto from 1498, bronze medal attributed to Donato Bramante, bust right, rev., nostrvm est volenti servit (“our wish is to serve”), an hour glass, 46mm (Hill 663 = Arm. III, 174, A), pierced, a very fine contemporary cast, extremely rare Ex Bibliothèque d’un Érudit Bibliophile – Pierre Jammes collection, Sotheby Paris, 12-13 October 2010, lot 245 part. This piece belongs to a group of Roman medals formerly given to Caradosso Foppa but re-attributed by Luke Syson in Currency of Fame (1994, see pp 113-115 for his arguments) to the great Italian architect Donato Bramante. The pieces concerned are the three varieties of medals of Julius II (two of which are considered to be foundation medals of St. Peter’s), the present type of medal of Enrico Bruni and, above all, the medal of Bramante himself, now proposed as a self-portrait – and all relate in some way to Bramante’s work on St. Peter’s. Stylistically they stand apart from Caradosso’s Milanese medals of the Sforzas. In 1507 Enrico Bruni laid the foundation stones for three of the four piers that support the columns bearing the weight of the dome of St. Peter’s. Hill records the only specimen known to him, which was acquired for the British Museum (through the National Art Collections Fund) from the R.C. Fisher sale at Sotheby on 10th May 1921, lot 9 and it is this same piece that is cited by Armand – hence the 1921 catalogue describing it as “appears to be unique”; it sold for 60. In addition to that and the present medal, another was sold by Münzen und Medaillen, Auction 90, 14 June 2000, lot 412. All three examples are pierced and have identical diameters of 46mm.
