Alessandro Manetti belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Alessandro Manetti as Italian engineer and architect (1787-1865).
Alessandro Manetti was born at Florence in 1787. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as engineer and architect.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Italy shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Alessandro Manetti died in 1865, aged 78. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
