Life

The son of a day laborer studied structural engineering at the Technical University of Munich from 1875 to 1881 thanks to grants from the Tyrolean estates, for which he was proposed by Michael Stolz , and worked there for two years as an assistant to the architect Gottfried von Neureuther . In 1879 he took part in the Tyrolean-Vorarlberg art exhibition in Innsbruck with his own designs . In 1881 he was appointed city engineer there, in 1886 in Gorizia and in 1889 in Trieste . In 1898 he returned to Innsbruck as a senior engineer. From 1918 he worked at the Reparto Architettura della Sezione Lavori Pubblici dei Governatorati Militare e Civile della Venezia Tridentina , from 1920 at the Commissariato Generale Civile in Trento.

Tommasi designed numerous representative buildings in historicist styles, especially the neo-renaissance , such as the Innsbruck main post office or the naval church in Pula , but also villas in Bozen, Meran, Arco and Innsbruck. In addition, he campaigned for the preservation and restoration of Roman buildings, such as the amphitheater and the Augustus temple in Pula or the Euphrasian basilica in Poreč. He was also responsible for the restoration of the Castello del Buonconsiglio (from 1896) and the Cathedral of Trento (1903-06).
