Giuseppe's sons include the scene designer Simon (1795–1878), active mainly in Munich, Angelo Quaglio the Elder (1784—1815), an architect and painter. He designed and painted landscapes and architectural pictures for Boisserée's work on Cologne Cathedral, Domenico (1787–1837), a landscape and architectural painter, scene painter, engraver, and architect, born in Munich and died at Hohenschwangau; and Lorenzo (1793–1869), a genre painter and lithographer.
