Arduino Berlam

Arduino Berlam was an architect who took over the work of his father, Ruggero Berlam. From 1905 Arduino (Trieste, 1880-Tricesimo, 1946) actively contributed to his father's works, creating such a harmony that experts now find it difficult to ascribe to one or the other the various ideas in the same project. Arduino, too, completed his education - partly at the school of engineering, partly at the Brera Accademy, which had already been attended by his father and his grandfather - and like Ruggero and Giovanni Andrea he was active above all in his native town, designing not only houses and palaces, but also monuments (Victory Lighthouse and Virgilio's memorial plaque at the mouths of the river Timavo), as well as the interior decoration of the famous ships Saturnia and Vulcania.
