Duilio Torres

Duilio Torres was a Venetian architect, who became famous especially as city master builder of Venezia. He was the younger brother of Giuseppe Torres, also an architect, with whom he shared an architectural office. The influence of family tradition, rich in taste and imagination, can be seen in the early years of their works. Their achievements and projects reflected a broad range of interests, including not only individual buildings, but also works for urban and regional planning.

Duilio Torres’ entry was his contribution for a national competition organized in January 1926 by an Italian magazine for the project of a vast sports complex at Acqua Acetosa in Roma, called Terme Littorie. The first prize went to Torres and the second to Oscar Prati who also submitted his design in Amsterdam 1928. The project, however, was never realized.
