• Abstract
  Giovanni Battista Verda, Count Verdenberg, was one of the most influential ministers of the court of Emperor Ferdinand II of Habsburg. He was founder of the Austrian Chancellery in Vienna and a skilled jurist and diplomat. Verdenberg became a protagonist in the age of European conflicts, the wars in Bohemia, the succession of Mantua and Monferrato, the Affaire d'Aquilée and the Thirty Years' War. As a close collaborator of Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg, he served under the emperors Ferdinand II and Ferdinand III in Gorizia, Graz and Vienna. Verdenberg became one of the richest men in Austria, Bohemia and Moravia. He had his castles, palaces, churches, convents and funerary monuments in Vienna, Grafenegg, Náměšť nad Oslavou and Strass im Strassertal decorated in the Baroque style and adorned them with valuable works by Frans Luycx, Friedrich Stoll and Giovanni Pietro de Pomis. In his hometown, Gorizia, he donated Palazzo Verdenberg to the Jesuits who established the college and the library which later became the Biblioteca Statale Isontina.
