Aldo Rossi (3 May 1931 – 4 September 1997) was an Italian architect and designer who achieved international recognition in four distinct areas: architectural theory, drawing and design and also product design.[1] He was one of the leading proponents of the postmodern movement.[2]

He was the first Italian to receive the Pritzker Prize for architecture.[3]
