Lorenzo Sala

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorenzo Sala (also: Sale; de ​​Sale; di Sale) († 1716?) Was a Swiss architect in the Baroque period who worked in Germany .

Life

The life dates are unknown or uncertain. He came from Roveredo in the canton of Graubünden . Its construction activity is documented from 1700 to 1717 in the margraviate of Baden-Baden in Rastatt . Here he worked under the palace builder Domenico Egidio Rossi . He was married to a Maria Magdalena who gave birth to a son Simon Andreas on June 23, 1701. In 1707, Margravine Franziska Sibylla Augusta (1675–1733) of Baden-Baden, who dismissed Rossi, appointed him court architect and thus Rossi's successor. It is presumed that he is identical with the "magister Laurentius Sala" ( in the Baroque period magister also stands for "builder"), who died in 1716 in the Hungarian " Petro Varadini ".

Insofar as the Evangelical Lutheran Trinity Church, built in 1709/10 in Eckersmühlen in the Margraviate of Brandenburg-Ansbach , is associated with him, there is probably a confusion of the name with Lorenzo Salle , the parlier of the Eichstättisch-prince-bishop Gabriel de Gabrieli building director .
