Biography

Gasparo was born to a Marcantonio Turbini (died 1756) from Lugano in Switzerland. Among his works were the Palaces in Brescia of Conti Soardi, of Luzzaghi, and of Conte Cesare Provaglio. Marcantonio designed the entry staircase of the Casa Fenaroli and Villa or Palazzo Conti Lechi a Montirone. He designed the parish church of Manerbio.

Gasparo joined the Jesuit order in 1746, and received his education in mathematics and physics through the order, with particular tutelage under Francesco Sanvitale. Gasparo himself taught at the Jesuit college in Brescia. He was admitted to the Accademia Clementina of Bologna in October 1762, the Accademia Reale di Parma in 1772, and the Accademia Agraria of Brescia in 1776. He was a polymath and presented dissertations on varied subjects at the Libreria Pubblica Quiriniana of Brescia, including talks on Roman Baths, and on ancient and modern theater construction, and on the construction of ovens to dry grains. He published a number of volumes, mainly translations and commentaries on architecture. [2]
