This
Barcelona architect (1873-1954) is one of the artificers who showed that
Modernism was not confined to the city of Barcelona: he spread great
Modernist works through several places in the Baix Llobregat area. Valeri’s
work is characterised by the use of undulating shapes and exuberant coloured
ornament. A proof of this is to be seen in what has been considered his
emblematic work: the “Casa Comalat” (1911), 442 Diagonal, Barcelona. Valeri
also worked for many years as the municipal architect of Papiol, Baix
Llobregat. Heritage of his passing through this place is “Can Bou”, also
known as the “Casa de Piedra” (1914), a remarkable Modernist building in the
old quarter. |
