Pietro Fenoglio is one of the most renowed italian 1900 architects ; his atypical life leaded him from the building of many stile Liberty villas, mostly in Turin, to a quick turn after which he dedicated to a more formal architecture. He then suddenly dropped everything & got a job in a bank. His art is easily recognizable for its roccocco influences, its fondness for the highlighting of the buildings corner thanks to huge bow-window & its decorative patterns made of circular concentric arabesques providing very light or heavy compositions.
