Architect
Aleksander Osipovich Bernardazzi (Russian: Бернардацци Александр Осипович, alternative spelling: Alexandr Bernardacci, Romanian: Alexandru Bernardazzi) (July 2, 1831 – August 14, 1907) was a Russian (of Swiss Italian origin) architect best known for his work in Odesa and Chişinău. Bernardazzi was born in Pyatigorsk in 1831. The town had been almost completely built by his father, Giuseppe Marco Bernardazzi , and uncle, who were originally Swiss from Pambio. Very early Bernardazzi demonstrated artistic talent and was eventually sent to study in Moscow. His first architectural job was in Chişinău from 1856 to 1878, where he served as the city architect. In 1878 Bernardazzi moved to Odesa and lived there for over thirty years. In 1879 Bernardazzi became the Odesa city architect and in the mid-1880s he was appointed an architect at the Novaya Rossiya University in Odesa. It has been said that "the Odesa you see today is the work of this prodigious and talented architect". Bernardazzi died August 14, 1907, in Fastiv. He was buried beside his mother in Chişinău.
