Diego Francesco Carlone

His grandfather, Pietro Francesco Corlone, was an architect of important monasteries in Styria, Carinthia and Upper Austria.

In 1704, architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach hired Carlone and Allio to work on some commissions he had in Salzburg, including the Kollegienkirche and the Johannesspitalskirche.

[3] From Carlone, he learned the production techniques for creating the stucco figures with highly polished surfaces that would make Feuchtmayer famous.

Around that same time, Diego executed the stuccos of sixteen rooms in the palace of Princess Wilhelmine von Grävenitz in Stuttgart.

Around 1718 he executed for the hunting lodge of Count von Rabatta in Thyrnau near Passau a life-size figure of Diana (now in the Bayerisches National Museum in Munich).

Johann Friedrich Nette then hired Diego and his brother, Carlo Innocenzo, a fresco painter, to work on the Ludwigsburg Palace.
