Giovanni Gaspare Zuccalli
Gaspare Giovanni Zuccalli (also Kaspar Zuccalli; * around 1637 in Roveredo , Graubünden ; † May 14, 1717 in Bad Adelholzen near Traunstein ) was a famous architect at the time , who mainly worked in Salzburg .
Career
The son of Domenico Christoforo Zuccalli was a student of his even better-known uncle Enrico Zuccalli , who built the Theatine Church in Munich . Max Gandolf von Kuenburg summoned Gaspare Zuccalli to Salzburg and negotiated with him the construction of a church on the quay, which later became the Kajetan Church , and with the Salzburg cathedral chapter the construction of the Erhard Church of the St. Erhard Hospital in Nonntal .
Zuccalli largely completed the two churches in the Italian Baroque style between 1685 and 1687, until the archbishop's death prevented any final work. Despite his appointment as court and landscape architect in 1689, the relationship with his successor Johann Ernst von Thun was clouded; he soon had to give way to Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach and, after unfounded accusations against him and his plasterers, long argued with the archbishop about his fee for the Kajetan Church . The reason was that the archbishop had an antipathy towards people from Romance countries, known as "Welsche" . In an ordinance from 1690, Savoy and Welsche were even expressly excluded from citizenship.
In 1695 Zuccalli acquired the Hofmark Bad Adelholzen im Chiemgau, where he also died in 1717.
