Giovanni Battista di Quadro (PolishJan Baptysta Quadro, LatinJoannes Baptista Quadro) (died between 10 April 1590 and 16 January 1591) was an Italian renaissance architect, one of the most famous architects in Central Europe in his era.
Giovanni Battista di Quadro of Lugano - creator of the Poznań City Hall
Until 1550, he probably worked in Saxony and Silesia, but on 13 March 1550, he signed a contract with the city council of Poznań for rebuilding the town hall. In 1551, with the agreement of the council, he went to Płock as a consultant on the renovation of the cathedral. In the same year, his name was mentioned in the court books of Poznań because of links between him and the Bishop of Poznań Benedykt Izdebski relating to building the bishop's palace in Krobia. From 1552 to 1562, di Quadro was the City Architect of Poznań, but the City Council also paid him in 1563, 1566, 1567, and 1570 for minor works. During these years, he worked for the citizens of Poznań and the clergy and nobles of Greater Poland.
