Lorenzo Porciatti

Lorenzo Porciatti (3 September 1864 – 17 March 1928) was an Italian architect and architectural restorer, active mainly in his native Tuscany.

He obtained a diploma from the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, then went to University of Rome to study mathematics, but left after a year.

He designed the tomb of Major Daniel Peploe at Weobley, Herefordshire, the Paoletti Perini chapel at the cemetery of Trespiano, and the Salle chapel at San Miniato al Monte, including its painting and sculpture.

[1] For the town of Montieri, on the ruins of the older courthouse, Porciatti designed a Gothic Revival Palazzo Comunale (1901)[2] and the elementary school.

He also restored the castle and the church of San Giovanni Battista in Castiglione della Pescaia[4] and designed the Vivarelli Mausoleum in Talamone's cemetery.
