Giovanni Battista Vaccarini belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Giovanni Battista Vaccarini as Italian architect (1702-1768).
Giovanni Battista Vaccarini was born at Palermo in 1702. His recorded nationality is Italy.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect.
His best-known building is Badia di Sant'Agata. Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Italy shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Giovanni Battista Vaccarini died in 1768, aged 66. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
