Sebastiano Guala

Sebastiano Guala

Sebastiano Guala was an Italian church architect active in the years 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 harvtxt|Cravino|2004. (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 harvtxt|Liceo Scientifico Palli|n.d., 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).
