Palais des Nations , Geneva

Carlo Broggi (born October 18, 1881 in Milan , † March 17, 1968 in Rome ) was an Italian architect. He is known as one of the five international architects selected to jointly construct a building for the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland . In 1929 the foundation stone for the neoclassical building - the Palais des Nations (see also there) - was laid, which was completed in 1937. Today it houses the headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva ( United Nations Office in Geneva ).

In 1912 Broggi put forward one of the early plans for a Milan tram that never came to fruition. In the 1920s, Broggi built primarily in Rome and Geneva, including the Palazzo dell'INA a Ludovisi in 1928 (construction of the INA on Via Vittorio Veneto 89 in Ludovisi , a Roman district) in the Novecento style .

In the 1920s, the Roman architect Angelo Di Castro worked in Broggi's architectural office.
