This diploma paper is focused on the Bombasi stonemason family, active from 1699 to 1757 in Ljubljana and from 1749 to 1769 in Maribor. At the beginning the paper centers on an analysis of previous research and a biographical overview of each protagonist – the oldest Francesco Bombasi, his son Alojzij Bombasi and the less researched third generation members, Karlo and Anton Bombasi. This is followed by stylistic analysis and a catalogue of all the currently documented stonemasonry works of the Bombasi workshop, which are photographed and divided into typological sections.
