biography
Johann Caspar Bagnato was building director of the Deutschordensballei Swabia-Alsace-Burgundy . Bagnato's father Paul (Paolo) Bagnato came from Peccia in Ticino , his mother Anna Maria Stickelmeyer from Germany. The family initially lived in Landau, but left the city around 1700 and lived in Speyer , where the father was killed in an accident in 1704 when he fell from a scaffold. He was also a builder and had built the Trinity Church there. Mother and children stayed in Speyer; she died here in 1735.
From 1725 Johann Caspar Bagnato lived in Mergentheim , from 1727 in Ravensburg . Here in 1729, on the occasion of his second marriage to the bourgeois daughter Maria Anna Walser, he was referred to as the “Master Builder of the Teutonic Order in Altshausen ” . That year he began to redesign Altshausen Castle . However, only a small part of his plans were implemented. He remained employed by the Teutonic Order throughout his life and built numerous churches and religious buildings on his behalf. He also worked for other - mostly church - builders.
In 1756 he married a third time after the death of the second wife. The wife's name was Maria Rosa Buol from Obernheim , where he had recently built the parish church and was the niece of the pastor there. In old age, Bagnato suffered from gout, died on an inspection trip on the island of Mainau and is buried in the castle church there, where his bronze epitaph is also located on the inner west wall.
Johann Caspar Bagnato's son Franz (Ignaz) Anton Bagnato (1731–1810) was also a master builder.
