Giuseppe Galli Bibiena

In 1708, Ferdinando was called to Barcelona by Charles III of Habsburg to help organize and decorate his wedding to Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Queen of Prussia and Giuseppe accompanied him.

There, when his father left in 1717, he became the chief organizer of the court festivities and official functions and named "His Majesty's Second Theatrical Engineer".

He also did work for religious venues as in Melk Abbey (Pulpit and High Altar) and in Prague when he built a decorative arch in 1729 for the celebration of John of Nepomuk.

Together Antonio and Giuseppe designed theater decorations and for festivities in Vienna, also Linz, Graz, and Prague (1723 "Costanza e Fortezza" at Hradčany castle).

His designs focused on detail, majesty, grandeur, and demonstrated a classical theme which was considered “true art” in the society of that time.
