Pasquale Poccianti belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Pasquale Poccianti as Italian architect.
Pasquale Poccianti was born at Bibbiena in 1774. 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.
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.
Pasquale Poccianti died in 1858, aged 84. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
