| biography:
| Architect, born in Genoa, NW Italy. He studied in Rome, joined the Austrian army as a fortifications engineer (1695–1701), then became court engineer in Vienna. His earlier works were heavily influenced by the Italian school, as seen in the Mansfield Fondi garden palace (1697–1715). He gradually developed a more mature style, less Classical and more intuitive, as seen in the Starhemborg-Schönberg garden palace (1705–6), where his mastery of the relationship between house and garden is clear. |
