[edit] He was Italian-Swiss

I don't know why, but there is a lack of information here. Trezzini was Malcantonese, near Lugano, that's of Italian origin. He should be considered Italian-Swiss. We cannot omit that. There are many sources:

- Ugo Donati, Malcantonesi in Russia, "Almanacco Malcantonese e bassa Valle del Vedeggio", 1944, 22-25.

- Ettore Lo Gatto, Gli Artisti italiani in Russia, vol. I, Gli architetti a Mosca e nelle province, ed. Libri Schewiller, Milano 1990;

- Id., vol. II, Gli architetti del secolo XVIII a Pietroburgo e nelle tenute imperiali, Scheiwiller, Milano 1993;

- Id., vol. IV Scultura, pittura, decorazione e arti minori, Scheiwiller, Milano 1991.

- Bernardino Croci Maspoli-Giancarlo Zappa (a cura di), Le maestranze artistiche malcantonesi in Russia dal XVII al XX secolo, ed Octavo, Firenze 1994.

- Giampiero Cuppini (a cura di), Gli architetti italiani a San Pietroburgo, ed. Consorzio Università - Città di Bologna, 1996.

In addition, you can find Russian sources in which he is called the Italian builder.
