Giuseppe Arighini

Giuseppe Arighini was an Italian architect of the Baroque period. He was born in Brescia in the 1600s. He built the "Schloßtheater" (1670-1674) in the +"Schloss Celle" of the town of Celle in the German state of Lower Saxony for Duke Georg Wilhelm of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. This theater was renown in the first decades of the end of 17th and beginning of 18th century as a center for Francophile music, and was visited by a young Johann Sebastian Bach on his way to Lüneburg. Arighini also designed buildings in Hannover as late as 1690. He also painted quadratura.
