Giuseppe Poggi

Giuseppe Poggi (3 April 1811 - 19 March 1901) was an Italian architect.

A native of Florence, he received numerous commissions from the city's upper bourgeoisie for renovations of palaces and gardens.

From 1864 he designed the city's urban renovation, which included the demolition of the walls, the creation of alleys in place of them and of several scenographic squares (Piazza Beccaria, Piazza della Libertà).

He later designed the viale dei Colli, a panoramic walk ending with the Piazzale Michelangelo.

He died at Florence in 1901.
