The Moesano Museum Foundation is pleased to report Marco Somaini's lecture "Magistri Moesani. Testimonies in Bavaria" which will take place on Thursday, June 05, 2025, from 8 pm.

At the beginning of the 18th century, architects and plasterers from the Lower Mesolcina were able to establish themselves in Munich in particular as forerunners of the Italian Baroque style. Primarily Enrico Zuccalli and Giovanni Antonio Viscardi succeeded each other as the "first court architects" in the service of the Bavarian prince-electors. They contributed, in a fundamental way, to changing Munich's appearance from a Gothic city to a courtly and aristocratic one. Sumptuous residences, such as the castles of Nymphenburg, Lustheim, and Schleissheim, or churches designed and built by incorporating architectural elements of great architects such as Borromini, Bernini, and Palladio, indelibly marked the contribution of our Magistri as ambassadors "of the new style" on Bavarian soil.
