Ludovico Quaroni

 
Ludovico Quaroni (1911–1987), born into a Roman family, was a key figure in twentieth-century Italian architecture and urban development. After graduating in architecture from Rome, he began to practise in the 1930s. During WWII he was held prisoner for five years by the British in India. On his return in 1946, he was among the protagonists of the post-war reconstruction process, both from a theoretical point of view—being very close to Adriano Olivetti and his urbanist ideas—and in the planning of public building works in Italy. He was also a great teacher, training generations of architects and urban planners, a much-respected scholar and the author of books such as La torre di babele (1967), Progettare un edificio (1977) as well as Immagine di Roma (1969), the book dedicated to his home town.
