Allio, Domenico (Italian architect and engineer, born 1505 or 1515, died 1563)
|
Note: Possibly born in either Lugano or Scaria. Domenico is considered the most important member of this branch of the Allio family. He trained in northern Italy and is documented in Steiermark from 1530. Ferdinand I, King of Bohemia and Hungary (later Holy Roman Emperor) was his patron; in 1553 he was appointed royal master builder and in 1555 chief master builder of the Croatian and Slovene frontier area. In 1558 Domenico was ennobled. Domenico renewed and modernized the fortifications against the Turks at many sites. Among his non-military projects is the Landhaus (1556-1563) at Graz, considered his most important project and one of the most architecturally interesting 16th-century monuments north of the Alps. |
