Cesare Bazzani

March 5, 1873 in Rome (Roma), Italy
March 30, 1939 in Rome (Roma), Italy

Cesare Bazzani was an Italian architect and engineer. An Academician of Italy, he was one of the foremost and most prolific creators of public architecture in Italy during the early 20th century, particularly in the Fascist era.

Cesare Bazzani completed his studies in civil engineering at the University of Rome in 1896. He won an art fair in 1899 with a design for a neo-Gothic cathedral. In 1906, together with Raimondo D'Aronco and Ernesto Pivovano, Bazzani won the architecture prize of the Esposizione de Sempione in Milan. In the 1920s and 1930s, he received numerous commissions for public and private buildings, partly because the Fascists were interested in his monumental style. In 1929, he became a member of the Accademia d'Italia.
