Bartolomeo Vecchione

Little is known about his origins and training; he clearly appears influenced by Ferdinando Sanfelice and Luigi Vanvitelli, two contemporary masters of Southern architecture.

Between 1747 and 1751, in collaboration with Crescenzo Torchese, he designed the structure of the elaborately decorated and remarkable pharmacy attached to the Ospedale degli Incurabili in central Naples.

[1] He aided in the reconstruction of the church of San Francesco delle Monache with the construction of an atrium in stucco and marble preceded by a gate in piperno performed by Torchese.

In 1766, he worked on lava formed routes along the Via Foria leading to the Albergo Reale dei Poveri in Naples.

[3] In 1769, he worked with Carlo Zoccoli and Gaetano Barba in studying the collapse of the façade of the Palazzo del Banco and its oratory.
