Antonio Corazzi

Italian-Polish architect

Antonio Corazzi practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.

The record lists Antonio Corazzi as Italian-Polish architect.

Antonio Corazzi was born in 1792. 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 architect.

His best-known building is Monument of Seven Generals. Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.

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.

Antonio Corazzi died in 1877, aged 85. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
