He was commissioned by Charles VI to redesign the Klosterneuburg Monastery, but the work was never finished. Donato Felice d'Allio began an apprenticeship as a mason in his native country around 1690. Around 1698 he came to Vienna as a journeyman, where he later worked as a foreman and then as a master mason. From 1711 to 1747 he was employed by the Military Construction Office, where he prepared reports and expert opinions, for example on the military permissibility of civilian buildings.[1]
