Luigi Rovelli

In Arenzano, in 1885, he completely renovated the Villa Negrotto Cambiaso, altering its facades in a distinctly medieval style and adding several new structures and a new wall along the western pedestrian path via Vernazza.

Around this time, he was commissioned by the De Ferrari family to design a park and a neo-Gothic castle of significant artistic value on the Isola del Garda.

He then worked on numerous civil and religious buildings in Genoa, where he had his studio in Piazza della Meridiana, particularly in the city center, where other notable engineers and architects of the time also operated, including Gino Coppedè, Benvenuto Pesce Maineri, Giuseppe Cannovale, Cesare Gamba, Dario Carbone, Gaetano Orzali, Stefano Cuneo, Raffaele Croce, Giuseppe Tallero, G. B. Carpineti, the Celle brothers, and others.

He was adept at interpreting the tastes of the local clientele, alternating between neo-Renaissance or neo-Baroque styles for urban buildings and neo-Gothic or neo-Romanesque forms, especially popular in villa residences.

He had a son, Antonio, who continued his career as an architect and designed the cantilevered loggia of Villa Mylius, overlooking the Fiera di Genova.
