Sebastiano Guala was an Italian church architect active between 1640–1680 in the area of Casale Monferrato, then capital of the Gonzaga-ruled state of Montferrat. He was born into a prominent family of Frassinello Monferrato and became a canon of the Collegiata di Santa Maria di Piazza in Casale.〔See . (Santa Maria di Piazza, demolished in the nineteenth century, stood in what is now the eastern part of Piazza Mazzini.)〕 It has been thought probable〔The kinship is suggested in , pointing to the rarity of Guala as a family name in the baptismal records in Casale.〕 that he belonged to the same family as the Casalese painter Pier Francesco Guala (1698–1757). ==Works== Churches attributed to Guala include: ;At Frassinello〔See for photographs and short descriptions of the churches at Frassinello.〕 : The chapel of San Bernardo, of unplastered brick and located in the open countryside.〔 has a photograph of the chapel near the foot of the page.〕 : The chiesa parocchiale dell’Assunta, rebuilt by Guala in 1650/60. ;At Casale : San Giuseppe in Via Lanza. : Santo Stefano (1653) in Piazza Santo Stefano.〔; .〕 : San Filippo in Via Biblioteca.〔; ; .〕 : Santa Maria sulle Mura (also Madonna di Pompei and La Madonnina) in Viale Morozzo, with a secondary entrance from Via Saletta, was built in 1675 to contain a fresco of the Madonna upon which ‘miraculous’ tears had been observed. The image, which also depicts the infant Jesus and Saint Evasio, was painted in 1615 by Selvino Bolognesi.〔; .〕 ;At Pozzo Sant’Evasio : The small church of Pozzo Sant’Evasio, near Casale, was built in 1666/1670 on the site of the miraculous fountain of Saint Evasio to commemorate a 1640 victory over the Spanish forces which were besieging Casale. The patron was Giovanni Domenico Polatto, president of the senate at Casale.〔See ; ; and .〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sebastiano Guala」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
