Armando Bernabiti (Crevalcore, 4 March 1900 – Crevalcore, 4 March 1970 ) was an Italian architect.
Life and careeredit
Born in Crevalcore, Bernabiti studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and began working as an architect in Paris and Rome.
In 1927, he moved to the Dodecanese, which had been an Italian possession since 1912. Together with Florestano Di Fausto and Rodolfo Petracco he designed numerous public and private buildings in a mostly Rationalist style, though with strong influence from local vernacular architecture. His most ambitious work was the foundation of the city of Portolago in Leros, designed from scratch together with Petracco. Described as "the only truly rationalist town outside of Italy", their work on Portolago has been praised for its beauty, imagination and inclusivist nature.[1]
His other notable works include the Aquarium of Rhodes, St. Francis of Assisi Cathedral, the Kallithea Thermal baths, Teatro Puccini (today, National Theatre of Rhodes) and the Casa del Fascio (today, Rhodes City Hall). In Kos, he designed both the Casa del Fascio and the Casa del Balilla.
