Dario Carbone

An architect, engineer, and later a professor,[1] he moved to Genoa at the age of twenty-five, setting up his studio on the central via XX Settembre (initially at number 6, later at 18[1]), where he received numerous and important commissions, particularly between the 19th and 20th centuries.

[2] He arrived in the Ligurian capital at a significant moment for the city, as the urban landscape was changing and large, notable residential neighborhoods were emerging.

[7] The Palazzo delle Cupole, the first building on the street (number 2), designed with Podiani in 1905 and completed in 1909, is a significant example of Art Nouveau and, like most of Carbone's architectural works in the area, is subject to heritage protection.

The plan, drawn up in 1906 by architect Dario Carbone, includes the area that stretches from the mouth of the Bisagno River in the eastern part of the city to the suburb of Sturla.

[2] The contemporary press wrote about the Piazza Colonna project: The architect Dario Carbone, to whose Ligurian tenacity we owe the solution, which is now about to be implemented and become, after a quarter of a century, a reality, of the problem of arranging Piazza ColonnaFor the city of Rome, Dario Carbone also conceived a project for the expansion of the city towards the sea, which was not realized but was published in 1912[24] and is now housed at the Library of the Institute of Archaeology and History of Art in Rome.
