Giovanni Muzio
Portrait by Gabriele Basilico, 1980
Giovanni Muzio (1893 – 1982) was an Italian architect. In 1920 he opened his own office in Milan with Giuseppe De Finetti, Gio Ponti, Emilio Lancia, and Mino Fiocchi actively participated in the cultural life of Milan. Among the most projects, the most representative is the residential block called the Ca' Brutta ("Ugly House", 1922) on the Via Moscova in Milan. The style is a stripped-down neo-classicism, five stories on a rounded corner patterned with real and blind arches, and bands of color for each story. With Gio Ponti and the artist Mario Sironi Muzio he designed the Popolo d'Italia pavilion for the 1928 Milan Trade fair, the Italian pavilion for the 1928 Pressa Exhibition in Cologne and the exhibition buildings for the 1930 Triennale exhibition. Other buildings include the Milan Tennis Club (1923-9), the Banca Bergamasca (1924-7), the Santa Maria Annunciata in Chiesa Rossa (1932), and the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth, completely rebuilt between 1960 and 1969.
