Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri

Italian architect

Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.

The record lists Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri as Italian architect.

Carlo Francesco Bizzaccheri was born in 1656. His recorded nationality is Italy.

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

He is recorded as architect.

Buildings outlast their architects and usually their purposes, which is what makes the discipline unforgiving.

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 Francesco Bizzaccheri died in 1721, aged 65. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
