Leonardo Benevolo (25 September 1923 – 5 January 2017) was an Italian architect, city planner and architecture historian.[1][2] Born in Orta San Giulio, Italy,[1] Benevolo studied architecture in Rome where he graduated in 1946. Later taught history of architecture in Rome, Florence, Venice and Palermo.[3] His book Storia dell'archittetura moderna (History of Modern Architecture) first published in 1960 has been reprinted 18 times, as of 1996, and translated into six other languages.[3] Benevolo developed the concept of ‘neo-conservative’ city which became an important contribution to the understanding of cities’ evolution.[4]
