A notable figure in 19th century Italian architecture, creator of the famous Mole Antonelliana in Turin (national cinema museum). Alessandro Antonelli, a leading figure in 19th century Italian architecture, carried out a sort of revision of classical architectural practice by applying new principles of constructive necessity, subtly interpreted, with interesting innovative effects in terms of expression. In the midst of the political-cultural debate that developed in France and reached Italy a little later, between the academic conservatism of the Fine Arts and scientific progressivism, Antonelli worked in a historical cycle that began in the first half of the 15th century, with Brunelleschi, and concluded with his famous Mole of Turin at the end of the 19th century: the typology of domes, one of the emblematic problems which could only be tackled by a few great specialists.
