Leonardo Ricci
Leonardo Ricci (born June 8, 1918 in Rome , † September 29, 1994 in Venice ) was an Italian architect.
Ricci graduated from the Liceo Michelangelo of Florence in 1936 and graduated from the University of Florence with a diploma in architecture (1941). Afterwards Giovanni Michelucci employed him as an assistant and, until 1946, in his architectural office. Ricci taught at Italian universities and in the USA; he was critical of Le Corbusier and advocated a social and landscape-bound architecture. In 1957 he received a gold medal at the Milan Triennale. His (posthumously realized) main work is the monumental Palace of Justice (Florence) .
At the suggestion of the Waldensian pastor Tullio Vinay , Ricci himself, who comes from a Waldensian family, built the Agape ecumenical meeting center near Prali in 1946 and the Monte degli Ulivi building complex in Riesi , Sicily, for the Servizio Cristiano social institution from 1963 to 1966 .
