Maurizio Conti (father)
Maurizio Conti (born October 11, 1834 in Lugano ; † June 18, 1906 there ) was a Swiss architect from Ticino .
Life
Maurizio Conti received his training after completing an apprenticeship as a carver at the Accademia di Brera in Milan . After graduation, he worked in the office of the Milanese architect Carlo Maciacchini , where he stayed until 1868. He then planned his main work, the city theater in Ragusa , which was completed around 1870.
After returning to Ticino, he planned the villa of the Russian Baron Paul von Derwies in Trevano , which was built in 1871, but then seems to have been more concerned with the construction than with the planning. He was involved in the construction of the train stations in Lugano and Chiasso and the Villa Ceresio and the Palazzo Riva in Lugano
His son Maurizio Conti was also an architect.
