Quaroni, Ludovico (1911–87). Italian architect, teacher, and town-planner, he was a distinguished Neo-Classicist during the Fascist era. He designed a group of small villas, Gaeta Region, Latina (1936), and the Piazza della Nuova Stazione Urban Plan, Ostia Lido, near Rome (1937—with E. Fuselli). Other works included the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore (later San Franco), Francavilla al Mare (1948–58), a housing development, in which a Roman
vernacular style was attempted, at the Tiburtino Quarter, Rome (1950—with C.
Aymonino, Mario
Ridolfi, and others), and La Martella Housing and Church, Matera (1951–2—with others). He published numerous works, including
La Torre de Babele (The Tower of Babel—1967),
Immagine di Roma (Image of Rome—1976), and
La città fisica (The Physical City—1981).
