Ferdinando Albertolli

Ferdinando Albertolli (11 November 1780 – 24 April 1844) was a Swiss-born Italian architect and a professor of design.

In 1804, he taught at the high school in Verona until 1808 when he became professor of design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice.

In 1812, he was appointed professor of design at the Brera Academy, a post he held for the remainder of his life.

[1] Albertolli's Palazzo Taverna in the Del Monte district of Milan was completed in 1835 in the late Neoclassical style.

It is notable in that it is reminiscent of Milan's Royal Villa and of country houses in general as the main body of the building is set back to form a courtyard overlooking the street.
