Architecture

Giuseppe Mengoni

Giuseppe Mengoni (23 November 1829 – 30 December 1877) was an Italian architect. He designed the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, one of the largest and most impressive iron-and-glass covered arcades of the 19th century. The project was the first example of a monumentally scaled iron and steel arcade in Italy, and was executed in a Renaissance Revival style that has become synonymous with the modern identity of post-unification Italy. Mengoni also designed the Palazzo di Residenza of Bologna Saving Bank (Carisbo).
