In the history of building, Enrico Alvino is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Enrico Alvino as Architect and urban designer (1809–1872).
Enrico Alvino was born at Milan in 1809. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Italy.
Industrialisation gave architecture iron, glass and the lift, and with them the problems of the railway station, the factory and the tall city block.
He is recorded as architect and urban planner.
His best-known building is Amalfi Cathedral. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.
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.
Enrico Alvino died in 1872, aged 63. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
