Biography

edit

Soli was from Castelnuovo Scrivia, where he was born on March 22, 1847, to Antonio and Maria Corni. He later settled in Sanremo, where he arrived as the trusted architect of Giovanni Marsaglia.[1]

In his work, he was a follower of the French architect Charles Garnier, who had long been operating in the nearby town of Bordighera.[1]

His works include, among others, Villa Nobel (1892), Villa Stefania (1896), and Villa del Sole (1898).[1]
