(Cristoforo Maria) Luigi Canonica (Tesserete, Canton Ticino, 9 March 1762 – Milan, 7 February 1844) was a Swiss architect and urban planner whose prominent career as an exponent of neoclassicism^[1] was spent largely in Milan and Lombardy. He was the designated architect of the short-lived Repubblica Cisalpina, and, following the fall of the Napoleonic empire, of the kings of Sardinia. In Milan he designed the Foro Buonaparte and the Arena.

Notes

↑ Among other major Italian neoclassical architects were the Romans Giuseppe Valadier and Luigi Canina and the Lombard Giuseppe Piermarini.
