Giacomo Perinetti

Giacomo Perinetti , also Jacob Perinetti or Jacopo Perinetti (* unknown; † before January 4, 1716 in Dorstadt near Wolfenbüttel ) was an Italian plasterer of the Baroque period . His main work is the stucco work in Blankenburg Castle , created between 1708 and 1714 .

Life

Perinetti's stucco work in the Imperial Hall of Corvey Castle

Little is known about the life of Giacomo Perinetti. He can be proven above all through his artistic activity in several castles in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel . Filippo Perinetti's son probably came from the Val d'Intelvi in northern Italy between Como and Lugano . The so-called Comasker plasterers came from this area around Laino for several generations . He presumably worked in Venice before working with Paolo Maria Ferabosco at Luisental Castle (already demolished in 1725) in Arolsen , the royal seat of the Counts and Princes of Waldeck-Pyrmont , from 1672 to 1673 . From 1673 to 1685 he was involved in the baroque expansion of the Osnabrück Castle (interior destroyed) led by Nicolao de Montalbano († 1695) .

Activity in Hanover

From 1685 to 1689 he worked at the Leineschloss in Hanover , where he and Dossa Grana created the magnificent stucco ceiling in the knight's hall (destroyed in the Second World War). In Hanover in 1700, Perinetti repaired the facades of the grottoes and cascades in the Great Garden together with the court architect Brand Westermann .

Worked in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel

From 1696 he can be traced back to the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, where he stuccoed the ballroom, the apartments, the orangery and the gallery building in Schloss Salzdahlum (destroyed). Perinetti probably had contact with the Brunswick master builder Hermann Korb , as he subsequently worked in several castles in the Principality that were built or rebuilt under the direction of Hermann Korb and Johann Balthasar Lauterbach . In the residential castle Wolfenbüttel he furnished the apartments, the dining room and the Redoutensaal with stucco. Only the stucco work in the apartments has been preserved. In Wolfenbüttel, Perinetti continued to create stucco work in the ballroom of the Palais von Münchhausen (preserved) and in the library rotunda (destroyed). There is evidence of his work on the Castrum doloris for Duchess Elisabeth Juliane († 1704). Another place of activity of Perinetti was Salder Castle , where he decorated the ballroom and the apartments. These works have been preserved. His works, which were made in Blankenburg Castle between 1708 and 1714, have also been preserved, such as the furnishings of the imperial hall of the old wing, the apartments, the church wing of the church and those of the tower wing.

Outside the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, he worked in Schloss Hundisburg (stucco work destroyed) near Haldensleben . In 1696, Perinetti took measurements for - preserved - stucco work in the Lüneburg Castle , which was built under the direction of the architect Domenico Antonio Rossi († 1737). In addition, he furnished the White Hall (preserved) of the Bückeburg Palace for Count Friedrich Christian von Schaumburg-Lippe . All of his works have been preserved in the mansions in Destedt , Brüggen , Achim and Lower Sick . His work in the Dorstadt monastery church , which at the time belonged to the Hildesheim monastery , has not been preserved. In Corvey Castle he stuccoed the imperial hall, inaugurated in 1704 (preserved). From 1706 to 1710 he worked with Hermann Korb on the new building for Pyrmont Castle . One of his last works was the stucco work carried out in 1715 on the St. Antonius Church in Hasselfelde . This building by Hermann Korb existed until 1834.

Perinetti was buried on January 4, 1716 in the church of the Catholic monastery in Dorstadt.
