Peter Carlone

Peter Carlone (* 1567 in Scaria ; † December 4, 1628 in Leoben ) was an Austrian master builder in the Leoben an der Mur area in Upper Styria .

He is one of the founding fathers of the Austrian branch of the Carlone family of artists . The assumption that he came from the fortress builder Peter Carlone, mentioned in Kreuz in Lower Styria ( Croatia ) from 1554 to 1560 , has not yet been clearly proven.

Life

Peter Carlone was admitted as a master in Deutschlandsberg in 1588 . In 1609 he tried to buying a property in Kaiserau at Admont , 1612 he bought a house in Leoben and performed there in 1614 the oath of citizenship . His name was mentioned in connection with a threat from a leather boy in Aflenz (1624) and a dispute with the Bruckner guild of bricklayers (1625). In 1627, the Leoben bricklayers' guild noted the master's absence at one of their meetings. In the following year, the Bruckner bricklayers' guild sent him a repeated warning.
