Renzo Picasso (1880–1975) was an Italian architect, engineer, and urban planner and designer.
[1][2][3] He was the author of the early twentieth century utopian projects for the city of Genoa, such as that for the Piazza de Ferrari, which suggested a development in height for those urban and metropolitan cities with a population of three million inhabitants or more.
[4][5] His numerous projects for skyscrapers (or rather the "cloudscratchers" as he used to call the high rising towers he dreamt to build, "grattanuvole") are set in a context of wide open spaces to ease human socialization.
[6] He was also the inventor of machines and devices characterized by the use of advanced technologies, such as the Motovol and the auto-scafopattino.
