Giulio Quaglio III
(b Laino, 1764; d Munich, 30 Jan 1801). Stage designer and architect, brother of (1) Giuseppe Quaglio. The last of the family to be born in Laino, he started work as an assistant to his cousin Lorenzo I and his brother Giuseppe, who was 16 years his senior. Besides working in Munich, where he is first recorded in 1781-2, and Mannheim, where he was employed as a stage designer in 1785 and from which he was granted leave of absence to work in Zweibrücken the same year, he was also involved (1798) in the furnishing and decoration of the new playhouse in Dessau, built by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff. He also visited Venice, Milan and Genoa. In July 1799 he was summoned to Munich and worked for about another year there from December as Lorenzo I's successor in the post of court theatre architect.
