Carlo Francesco Dotti practised at a period when the terms of architecture itself were under argument.
The record lists Carlo Francesco Dotti as Italian architect.
Carlo Francesco Dotti was born at Cernobbio in 1669. 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.
His best-known building is Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca. 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 Dotti died in 1759, aged 90. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
