Attilio Muggia

Attilio Giacomo Muggia (Venice, 2 April 1861 – Bologna, 18 February 1936) was an Italian engineer and architect.

He was the Italian pioneer of reinforced concrete calculus of which he held the exclusive rights.

He held the chair of technical architecture at the Bologna School of Engineering from 1912 to 1935.

In Bologna, he built Villa Gina in 1900, the first building for civilian use with reinforced concrete floors and with avant-garde solutions for the time, such as the use of asphalt to waterproof the terraces or the original steel plate shutters on the windows.

From 1905 to 1925 he was general technical director of the Cement Construction Company with offices in Bologna and Florence.

In 1926 he played an important role in the design of the Marchino Cement Factory in Prato built by architect Leone Poggi.

Attilio Muggia died in Bologna in 1936. He is buried in the Israelite camp of the Certosa di Bologna.

The city of Bologna named a street after him in the vicinity of the Park of Montagnola, Bologna of which, with Tito Azzolini (1837–1907), he was the architect of the monumental staircase.
