Alberto Lucchese
Alberto Lucchese , also Alberto Luchese or Johann Albrecht Luchese , (* 16th century in Pambio , † after 1600 in Melide ) was an Italian architect of the Renaissance .
Life
Alberto Lucchese was one of the three sons of the builder Giovanni (Hans) Luchese († 1581), who came from a stonecutter family in Pambio (now part of Lugano , Ticino), and his wife Dominika Aostalli from Prague. Like his brothers, he was born in Pambio. His brother Adamo († 1583) also worked as a stonemason.
In 1564 Alberto Lucchese worked as a foreman at Ambras Castle . Later was involved in building the church in Hall . In the years 1577 to 1579, according to the protocols of the Günzburg magistrate, he was resident in the city to supervise the construction work on the castle. However, he was only allowed to buy a house on condition that he would leave the city after completing his work, which is what happened.
On January 28, 1581, Alberto Lucchese became Innsbruck court architect in the service of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol . He thus succeeded his father, who had held this position since 1569. Among other things, he created the Ballspielhaus (Dogana) in the Hofgarten in Innsbruck in 1582 . In 1595 he presented plans to rebuild the Brixen Hofburg . In 1600 he resigned from the office of court architect.
His son Bartlme (also Bartolomeo; † 1622) was also Innsbruck court architect and architect. His son Franz (also Francesco; approx. 1580–1629) is mentioned in 1613 as a court painter in Innsbruck.
