Costante Tencalla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Swiss-Italian architect and sculptor (1593-1646)
Costante Tencalla (1593, Bissone[1] - 1646, Warsaw[2]) was a Swiss-Italian architect and sculptor.[3]
He trained in Rome[4][5] and spent his early working life there before going to Poland with his uncle Matteo Castelli, who became Poland's first royal architect.[6] On Castelli's death he moved back to Italy to work on buildings in Bissone and Lugano.[7] He then returned to Warsaw as architect to Władysław IV Vasa,[8] who commissioned important buildings from him in Warsaw, Kraków, Leopoli, Gniezno, and Vilnius (Grand Duchy of Lithuania).[9][10][11]
