Vittorio Gandolfi

Vittorio Gandolfi (28 April 1919 – 1999) was an Italian architect, urban planner, and academic. The son of the conductor and composer Gino Gandolfi, he is regarded as one of the leading figures of post-war Italian Rationalism.

After graduating from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1942, Gandolfi taught there before becoming professor of architectural composition at the University of Genoa. He was active in residential, airport, and religious architecture, designing housing for the INA-Casa and INCIS programmes, contributing to the planning of the QT8 district in Milan, and designing the original passenger terminals at Milan Malpensa Airport and the expansion of Milan Linate Airport. His religious works include the church of Sant'Antonio Maria Zaccaria and the church of Santo Spirito in Milan.
