Vincenzo Alagna
(nato
nel 1866 e morto nel 1931)
Engineer
Coming from the
school of Basile, he used a modernist language due to his
frequent trips abroad. His language was autonomous in comparison
to that ruling in the circle of Palermo.
Friend of Pitrč, he
was an impassioned researcher of the local history and, during
his task as Town Councillor to the Public Affairs , he engaged
himself in the safeguard of the monumental patrimony.
His most important work is the Palazzo Dato in Via XX Settembre
in Palermo, and other realizations to remember are the
buildings Atenasio via M. Stabile, Alagna in via B.Latini,
Fanara in via Sammartino, Isnello in via Goethe, Prestana in via
Roma e Ardizzone in via Maqueda.
