Pietro Antonio Solari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pietro Antonio Solari, also known as Pyotr Fryazin (b. after 1450, Milan(?) - 1493, Moscow) was an Italian architect.

Pietro Solari's teacher was his father Guiniforte Solari, himself an architect and sculptor. In 1476, Pietro Solari was hired to continue the construction of the Duomo di Milano. Later on, he was in charge of several construction projects in Milan. In 1489, Pietro Solari was invited to Russia by Ivan III to construct the walls and towers of the Moscow Kremlin. Within the next two years, Solari built most of the walls (excluding the western wall built by his successor Aleviz) and towers of the Kremlin, including the Borovitskaya, Konstantino-Eleninskaya, Spasskaya, Nikolskaya, and Corner Arsenalnaya towers. Engineering methods, technique and architectural forms, used by Solari, were reminiscent of the fortifications of Northern Italy.

Together with Mark Fryazin, Solari also built the Palace of Facets in the Kremlin.
