Giovanni Bonalino (c. 1575 – 1633, in Bamberg) was an Italian builder and mason, who worked primarily in Germany. He worked on several churches in Bamberg,[1] the Schloss Ehrenburg in Coburg, the Pfarrhaus in Frensdorf, and the Schloss in Weimar. He began designing the palace in Weimar in 1619 following a fire in 1774.
