Giovan Battista Caniana (8 May 1671 – 5 May 1754) was an Italian sculptor and architect.

Biography

Caniana was born in Romano di Lombardia, and his father Giacomo Antonio, also a sculptor, died when he was 8 years old. His mother Datila sent him to study in Longhena, where he trained under Andrea Brustolon. A few years later Caniana returned to his family where he worked in a shop with his brothers. In 1694 after he married Bridget Grass, he turned to architecture and worked on a number of local projects. He died in Alzano Lombardo, aged 82.

His grandson, Giacomo Caniana, was also an architect.
