Biography
Biography
Cecchini was born in Pastrengo into a family of stonemasons. He studied at an art school in Verona and received numerous awards for his sculptures in artistic exhibitions. He then studied at the Polytechnic University of Milan, and graduated in November 1944. He was registered as an architect in Verona and began restoring monuments damaged or destroyed during World War II. He worked for the Superintendent of Monuments in Verona until 1966, when he began committing himself to public projects, such as the Verona Chamber of Commerce, office buildings, schools, housing for the elderly, villas, and other commercial buildings. • Illustration — Castelvecchio Bridge, destroyed during World War II, was rebuilt with Cecchini as architect between 1949–1951. In 1996, Cecchini and his son founded the company Vittorio Cecchini Libero and Associated Architects, which competed in numerous local and national architectural competitions.
