Imágenes de Juan Veltroni : un arquitecto florentino en el Uruguay del 1900 = Immagini di Giovanni Veltroni : un architetto florentino nell' Uruguay del 1900 / Antonio Bona, Domingo Gallo.
A well-documented and thorough research on the life and work of neoclassic architect Juan (Giovanni) Veltroni (b. Florence, Italy 1880 - d. Uruguay 1942). In 1907, José Batlle y Ordóñez was visiting Europe -between his two terms as president- and invited Veltroni to Uruguay as part of his construction project for the modernization of Uruguay. This temporary invitation became a permanent residence in Uruguay where Veltroni produced his most important work, including the design of the Parque Capurro (1910), the Hotel del Prado (1911), the Public Market of the city of Artigas (1919), the Escuela Sanguinetti (1922), the public building Oficinas Pblicas de Salto (1924), the building of the Ministery of Public Health (1925), the bank Banco de la Repblica (1926), the Chemistry Faculty (1931), the Liceo de Durazno (1941) and the urbanization of beach resort San Rafael, as well as many private residences and some projects never built, like the plan for the Government palace and the winner design for the Jockey Club. The book includes documentary contributions made by the family of Veltroni and research carried out by the Comisin Veltroni.
