Luigi Pellegrin is considered an important figure in Italian architecture for his innovative interpretation of modernism and his contribution to the development of rationalist architecture in Italy. Through his designs, he emphasized functionality and simplicity while making use of modern building materials such as reinforced concrete and glass. His notable works include the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi in Milan and the San Carlo Borromeo Hospital in Milan, among others. Pellegrin's influence can be seen in the work of many contemporary architects, both in Italy and beyond.
