Antonio Cipolla

Antonio Cipolla (4 February 1820 – 15 July 1874) was an Italian architect, active in an academic neo-Renaissance style.

In 1852-1854, he obtained a commission from the Neapolitan monarchy to refurbish the church of Santo Spirito dei Napoletani located on via Giulia in Rome.

His next major commission was to help refurbish the Farnese Palace in Rome for the exiled former King of Naples, Francis II.

Major interior rooms of the building , known as Palazzo Cipolla, were decorated with paintings by Cecrope Barilli, D. Bruschi, and D. Natali, and statues by O. Garofoli.

He competed for the design of the facade of the Cathedral of Florence, but lost out to Emilio De Fabris.
