Matteo Pertsch

Matteo Pertsch (1769–1834) was an Austrian architect who was prominent in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, particularly in Trieste. He was known for his embrace of Neoclassicism, favoring straightforward, classical-antique forms, and domed, temple-like buildings. With Pietro Nobile and Antonio Mollari, Pertsch created and led Trieste's early 19th-century development, and their plans and influence, and many of their structures, remain.
