Carles Pirozzini i Martí (1852-1938), as a member of the municipal technical staff, is a key figure to understand many cultural and artistic initiatives in the city of Barcelona. Far from being a mere civil servant, he was a manager wishing to turn Barcelona into a cultural capital. This book is the result of archive research and aims to yield both a biography and a story about the city itself, illustrated through the course of Pirozzini’s life.
