Pier Luigi Nervi was born in Sandrio,
Italy, in 1891. He completed his formal
studies at the civil engineering school of
the University of Bolognainl913. After
graduating, he worked for the Societa
per Costruzioni Cementizie until 1920,
receiving thorough experience in the de-
sign of reinforced concrete. In 1920 he
formed the partnership of Soc. Ing.
Nervi e Nebbiosi. During this associa-

In 1932 he joined with a cousin to form
Ingg. Nervi e Bartoli, the design and
construction firm he now heads. The
famous airplane hangars of 1938-43,
won by the firm in competition, brought
Nervi international attention. In the
