Abstract

At the beginning of the 20th century, lots of young and promising Russian architects travelled to Italy, interpreting gained experience in projects and buildings (V.F. Shuko, I.A. Fomin), and some of them even had building practices there (A. Schusev). After the October Revolution of 1917 many actors of creative professions leaved Russia, but the architects were in the minority among immigrants and only a few of them settled (A.Y. Beloborodov, L.M. Brailovsky) or constantly worked (G.K. Lukomsky) in Italy. The paper tries to analyze the careers of the mentioned and other architects, to describe the particular circumstances of their work in the conditions of emigration, to determine their place in the Italian and international professional culture of that time.
