Giovan (Gian) Domenico Vinaccia (13 March 1625, Massa Lubrense - July 1695, Naples) was an Italian architect, goldsmith, engineer and sculptor.

Life

He learned sculpture and architecture from

Chiesa del Gesù Nuovo and designed another high altarpiece in Sant'Anna dei Lombardi, although the latter was actually carved by the Ghetti brothers. The architectural-sculptural scheme in Santa Maria dei Miracoli
was also carved by him.

He also designed the facade of the

Sant’Andrea delle Dame. He collaborated with Lorenzo Vaccaro on several other works.[2]
