Italian stuccoist and sculptor, part of a family of artist, son of the master builder Pietro Francesco Carlone 1606-1680) and brother of Carlo Antonio Carlone (1635-1708). He was the father of Carlo Innocenzo Carlone and Diego Francesco Carlone. He was active mainly in Germany, particularly in Passau, where he contributed to the decoration of the new cathedral and the church of St Michael. With him appeared a new type of stucco which does not alter the architectural lines but constitutes a flowering ornamental around them. //
