Domenico Carlone (also Dominicus or Dominico Carlon or Carloni or Carlano or Corlan or Corton ; * around 1615 in Scaria ; † January 26, 1679 in Vienna ) was an Italian builder and plasterer from the Carlone family of artists .

Life

Domenico Carlone was born the son of Lukas Carlone, Silvestro and Carlo Martino were his brothers. When he married Barbara Tötscher in Graz in 1639, he was a trained bricklayer and plasterer, in Vienna in 1645 as a mason foreman and since 1646 as a master, later as a builder and court mason, at the latest since 1671 he was a member of the guild . Around 1654 or 1655 he acquired real estate in Vienna on the Laimgrube from the heirs of Pietro Maino Maderno . From his first and another marriage between 1656 and 1667 the three sons Michael, Carlo and Antonio emerged.

Carlone's personal circle included well-known people of the time, including the architect Giovanni Pietro Tencalla , the sculptor Simeon Allio , the plasterer Domenico Piazoll and the master mason Jakob Spazzo .

Works

Parish and pilgrimage church Mariabrunn and Mariabrunn monastery in the 14th district in Vienna, 1645. In later protocols he is also named as the master builder for the fountain next to the parish church.
For the later city commander Ernst III. Count von Abensberg and Traun he built the Palais Abensperg-Traun in Vienna's Herrengasse together with Carlo Canevale as "Dominico Carlon" from 1655 to 1658 . After the building was sold, it was demolished in 1857 in favor of an extension to the Austro-Hungarian National Bank.

Also for the Abensperg and Traun family , as a master builder, from 1660 to 1668 he was in charge of the conversion of Petronell Castle into a four-wing complex. Parts of the renovation were also carried out by Carlo Martino (?), After whose death Carlo Canevale was responsible. In 1660 he won the renovation contract against master mason Sigmund Mitterlehner with his cost estimate. The reconstruction of the complex lasted with interruptions until 1680. The brothers Ambrosius and Giorgio Regondi received stonemason orders from the imperial quarry on Leithaberg .

Together with Carlo Martino, he built the Amalienburg from 1660 to 1666 and, according to documents from Filiberto Lucchese, the Leopoldine wing of the Hofburg . The enlarged reconstruction after the fire of 1668 was under his direction. In this context, a connecting building was also built between the Old Castle and the Amalienburg of the Hofburg, for which Carlone was jointly responsible as construction manager. As early as 1660, his brother Silvestro had signed up for a lump sum to carry out construction work up to the roof, and from 1666 he was involved in the construction work. Ambrosius Ferrethi from Kaisersteinbruch was in charge of the stone carving .

The imperial quarry

Mainly supporting architectural parts were made of the hardest Kaiserstein , so an intensive collaboration with Kaisersteinbruch masters is documented.
