Carlo Barabino

architect

Carlo Barabino belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.

The record lists Carlo Barabino as architect.

Carlo Barabino was born at Genoa in 1768. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at Accademia Ligustica di Belle Arti.

Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.

He is recorded as architect.

Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.

That the work was built in Italy shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Carlo Barabino died in 1835, aged 67. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
