Lorenzo Nottolini

Italian architect and engineer

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

The record lists Lorenzo Nottolini as Italian architect and engineer.

Lorenzo Nottolini was born at Capannori in 1787. His recorded nationality is Italy. He trained at Academy of Fine Arts, Florence.

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

He is recorded as architect and engineer.

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.

Lorenzo Nottolini died in 1851, aged 64. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
