Domenico Gilardi belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Domenico Gilardi as Swiss architect (1785-1845).
Domenico Gilardi was born at Montagnola in 1785. His recorded nationality is Switzerland. He trained at Brera Academy.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect.
His work is associated with classicism.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
Recognition followed: Order of St. Vladimir, 4th class.
That the work was built in Switzerland shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Domenico Gilardi died in 1845, aged 60. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
