Guarino Guarini
(redirected from Camillo-Guarino Guarini)

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.02 sec.
Guarini, Guarino 

Born Jan. 17, 1624, in Modena; died Mar. 6, 1683, in Milan. Italian architect.

Guarini worked in Rome, Modena, Messina, and Paris; in 1666 he began working in Turin. Guarini’s work (the Church of San Lorenzo, 1668-87; the Carignano Palace begun in 1679 in Turin) is the apogee of the restless dynamism of Italian baroque architecture. The most complicated mathematical calculations are combined in his work with a mystical irrationality of architectural images, the whimsicality and extreme tension of forms, and the refinement of curvilinear planes.
