Details

Italian stuccoist. He was the grandchild of the fresco painter Carpoforo Tencalla (1623-1685) whose name he took. He settled in Venice and became the pupil and later the collaborator of the stuccoist Abbondio Stazio. The two artists worked together. As early as 1718 they were in Palazzo Sagredo, and later on they worked more than once in the Gesuiti (1726-27 and 1732-34). They were commissioned to work on the Scuola Grande dei Carmini to carry out white and gilded stuccowork on the ceiling of the Sala Capitolare there. //
