Ettore Fagiuoli (Verona 1884 - 1961 )
Architect, his name is linked to
important realizations: in Verona the Bridge of Victory, the
Palazzo delle Poste, the unfinished reconstruction of the tower
bell of the Dome, in Padua the seat “ Sede del Ḅ”, in Florence
the bridge “ Ponte della Carraia” and many others in several
towns. Starting from 1913 up to 1950, he was the creator and
designer of scenes and scenarios for performances. His first
experiences, in the field of carving, belong to the second
decade of the century. He portrayed picturesque corners of
Verona, flowery gardens, sights and ends of towns. In his works
we can find the mere technical root of an architect: the
scansion of the plans and the minuteness and preciosity of
details assume an important place. In his early etchings the
usage of hatch and aquatint is frequent, while in his older
period, from 1930 to 1945, there is a progressive abandon of
aquatint. He has participated to several exhibitions among which
he was quite often at the Biennale of Venice.
