Giorgio Massari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giorgio Massari (1687-1766) is a prominent late-Baroque Venetian architect. Among his masterpieces are the Chiesa dei Gesuati (1726-43) and the Palazzo Grassi-Stucky (1749). In the latter, Massari executes a traditional elegant marble fronted Grand Canal palace facade, with Baroque rhythms and variations to the arrangement of bays.
