Giuseppe Jappelli

Giuseppe Jappelli (14 May 1783 – 8 May 1852) was an Italian neoclassic architect and engineer who was born and died in Venice, which for much of his life was part of the Austrian Empire.[1] He was the youngest of nine children born to Domenico Jappelli and cousin to Luigi Jappelli, a painter and interior decorator.[2] He studied at the Clementine Academy in Bologna. In 1836–7, he traveled to France and England, an experience that would be formative on his career as a park architect. His best-known work is the Pedrocchi Café in Padua.
