Giovanni Maria Falconetto

Italian architect and painter (1468-1535)

Giovanni Maria Falconetto belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Giovanni Maria Falconetto as Italian architect and painter (1468-1535).

Giovanni Maria Falconetto was born at Verona in 1468. His recorded nationality is Republic of Venice.

The Renaissance made the architect an individual with a signature, a theory and a reputation, working from drawings rather than on site.

He is recorded as architect and painter.

His work is associated with veronese school.

Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.

That the work was built in Republic of Venice shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Giovanni Maria Falconetto died in 1535, aged 67. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
