Giovanni Greppi (architect)

[2] He also won a scholarship that allowed him to travel and study abroad, and from 1908 to 1910 he attended the École des beaux-arts in Paris and also visited Istanbul.

Giovanni Greppi built a factory town on behalf of Dalmine between 1934-40[3] and, together with Giovanni Muzio, the Palazzo della Cassa di Risparmio delle Provincie Lombarde in Milan: known as "Palazzo delle Colonne" due to the long portico on the facade, the building is considered by architectural historians as one of the most interesting bank buildings built in Milan between the wars.

[5] In addition, the commission for the construction of the Redipuglia War Memorial, chaired by General Cei, imposed Giovanni Greppi as architect and Giannino Castiglioni as sculptor,[5][6] the two having a close-knit partnership since their time at the Academy.

Under General Cei and together with Castiglioni, Greppi went on to design further memorials at Timau, Kobarid, Colle Isarco, Pian di Salesei, Passo Resia and San Candido.

Also in collaboration with Giannino Castiglioni he also built memorials abroad, in particular at Bligny in France, to honor the dead of the Garibaldi Legion on the Marne front.
