Spavento, Giorgio (Italian architect and engineer, died 1509)
|
Note: Spavento was a respected architect and engineer active in Venice. Projects he was associated with include repairs to the campanile of S Marco (1489); the new east wing of the Doge's Palace (1496); the restoration of the Palazzo della Ragione in Vicenza; repairs to the old, wooden Rialto Bridge in Venice and the Ponte delle Navi in Verona (1502); the Lidi (coastal defences) of Venice; the church of S Nicolò di Castello (consecrated 1503, demolished ca. 1810); the rebuilding of the Fondaco dei Tedeschi; and the church of S Salvator. The last two projects are considered his most important surviving works although they were largely executed by others. |
