Carlo Catani

Carlo Giorgio Domenico Enrico Catani (22 April 1852 – 20 July 1918) was a civil engineer who, for the majority of his career, worked in Australia for the Victorian State Government.

He was born in Florence, Italy, and gained a civil engineering diploma at the Technical Institute there.

After working in railway construction, he migrated to New Zealand in 1876, but left for Melbourne almost immediately.

Within a few weeks, he joined the Victorian Department of Crown Lands and Survey as a draughtsman.

The couple had three daughters and three sons, one of whom was killed in action in World War I.
