Giuseppe Nuvolo

Giuseppe Nuvolo (born Vincenzo Nuvolo, also known as Fra' Nuvolo; 1570–1643) was an Italian architect, an exponent of the Mannerist and early Baroque architecture, active mostly in Naples.

The dome of Santa Maria alla Sanità.

He entered the Dominican Order in 1591, but designed works also for other institutions. He specialized in the use of majolica decorations, especially in the domes for churches in Naples, including that of San Pietro Martire or that of Santa Maria della Sanità. Nuvolo designed both the church and convent of Santa Maria della Sanità.

Nuvolo also redesigned pre-existing edifices in Mannerist-Baroque style, such as the church of Santa Maria di Costantinopoli and the church of San Carlo all'Arena. At his death in 1643, he was working in the construction of the church of Santa Caterina da Siena, also in Naples.

gollark: I'm not sure what to do about the proliferation of random web APIs. On the one hand, exposing USB and graphics cards and stuff *may* be a bad idea. On the other hand, it is a nice application platform still.
gollark: It would also ship with a good document diffing engine built in, so you could write declarative code like people do now with React, but faster and without frameworks.
gollark: It could probably also do that. I don't know if it would interact nicely with the coroutine thing.
gollark: i.e. like writing synchronous code, but the coroutine yields while an asynchronous call happens
gollark: Oh, and the Lua scripting environment would use Lua's cool coroutine model to do async *pleasantly* without magic keywords all over the place.
