Quaglio [Quaglia; Qualia; Qualio].
Italian family of artists, active in Germany. They originally came from Laino, a small village in Valle d’Intelvi near Como. Their activity in Italy and Germany extended over eight generations, stretching from Giulio Quaglio I (1601–after 1658) to Angelo Quaglio III (1877–1917). They worked as fresco painters, architects, decorators and painters of vedute and genre scenes. Eight Quaglios were stage designers who dominated the court theatres at Mannheim and Munich for five generations, as the last representatives of a great theatrical tradition that originated in Italy.
