The younger Italian sculptor Jago is greatest identified to Catholics for
his marble bust of Pope Benedict XVI, which the Pope himself
awarded with a pontifical medal. Upon Benedict’s resignation, Jago

how he needed to educate himself as a result of his artwork professors opposed
learning the good masters of the previous, and his modern use of
social media as a brand new, decentralized type of patronage.
