Architect: Joseph Bonomi the Elder

Date of Birth: 1739
Date of Death: 1808
Nationality: Italian
Notes: Rome was the architect's birthplace; he came to England in 1767 and worked for brothers Robert and John Adam. Bonomi was elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1789 with the support of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Bonomi was recognized in 1804 as the honorary architect for St. Peter's in Rome. Jane Austen names him in "Sense and Sensibility" as a popular architect. Bonomi's designs resemble the Adam brothers' style in certain ways; however, Colvin describes his interiors as "more robust."
