Ferruccio Vitale (1875-1933) was a landscape architect. According to the historian Terry R. Schnadelbach, he is "America's forgotten landscape architect."[1]

Life

Born in Florence, Italy, February 5, 1875, the son of Lazzaro and the Countess Giuseppina Barbaro Vitale.[2] His father was an engineer[3] and in 1893 Ferruccio Vitale graduated at the Royal military school, Modena, as an engineer as well, but then became an Italian army officer.[3] In 1898, Vitale came to the United States as a military attache to the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C:.[2] He studied landscape architecture in Florence, Turin and Paris. In 1902 he moved from Genoa to New York, where he had already signed a contract as "landscape architect" with Parsons & Pentecost. In 1908 he had already managed to start his own architecture studio with Alfred Geiffert, and in 1919 he signed his first major work: the Meridian Hill Park in Washington.[4]

In 1921 he acquired US citizenship and for this is known as an American landscape architect.

He was part of the American Society of Landscape Architects (1904, fellow in 1908), the Architectural League of New York, the Municipal Art Society and the Fine Arts Commission of New York City, the American Academy in Rome, the Foundation for Architecture and Landscape Architecture, American Institute of Architects (1927, honorary member)[4] and various New York Clubs.[1]

In 1920 Vitale, Brinckerhoff and Geiffert received the first gold medal award from the Architectural League of New York for landscape architecture.[4]

Death

He died of pneumonia in 1933.[5][1][6]
