Tommaso Temanza

Tommaso Temanza (9 March 1705 – 14 June 1789) was an Italian architect and author of the Neoclassic period.

He apprenticed as an architect under his uncle, Giovanni Antonio Scalfarotto.

One of his first jobs was as a proto or chief architecture for the Magistrate of the waterways, a position also held by Lucchesi.

Among his works include the church of Santa Margherita (circa 1748) in Padua; the private chapel on the grounds of Villa Contarini located in Piazzola sul Brenta; and a loggia for Ca' Zenobio in Venice.

He is best known for his 1778 biography of architects from Venice: Vite dei più celebri architetti e scrittori veneziani.
