The author
of current appearance of the house was Francesco Canevale, a distinguished
stone worker who arrived in Brno in the middle of the 1580s. Working
jointly with other Italian artists, they rearranged and decorated
the New and Old Town Hall, the Barons of Lipá House as seen
today and a number of other buildings. Francesco Canevale obtained
the house on 29 April 1589in result of marrying Agnes, a widow of
Antonio Silva, also a stone worker.
Canevale got
down to the house refurbishment in 1595-1596. He decorated it with
a splendid doorway, much admired until our days, and even placed
his emblem at the top of the arch, below a distinct cornice. The
emblems depicts an arm and a hand holding a small tree. Don´t
get misled, however. It is not “a tree”, it is a cinnamon
tree, from the Italian name of which Canevale derived his name.
