Giovanni Battista Scapitta

Giovanni Battista Scapitta (1653-1715) was an Italian architect and engineer of the late Baroque period in Northern Italy.

He helped design the church of Santa Caterina, Casale Monferrato.

The ill-fated Duke Carlo Ferdinando of Mantua commissioned Scapitta and the Regia Fabbrica to build new public baths for the thermal waters.

The design resembled that of a monastery, with two cloisters around open air pools.

The cloister for women had a chapel dedicated to San Guido, patron of the town.
