Carlo Scarpa (Venice, 1906 - Sendai, 1978) was an architect known for his deep connection to Venice and its region. After studying at the Regia Accademia delle Belle Arti, he collaborated with Murano glassworks and taught at IUAV. His first major project was the restoration of Ca’ Foscari University (1937). Scarpa’s exhibition designs, particularly for the Venice Biennale, are internationally recognized, as are his contributions to the Gallerie dell’Accademia and Museo Correr. His renovation of the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona is considered a milestone. Scarpa’s work with materials, especially steel and concrete, left a lasting mark on 20th-century architecture.
