The essay reconstructs the figure of Giovan Battista Barattieri, the author of a treatise on the ‘Architecture of waters’ (1663), in the light of his family tradition, education, cultural debts, professional activities and relations with customers and colleagues. The picture that emerges makes it possible to put his ‘opinions’ on waterway architecture into context, starting with that on Alfonso Moscatelli Battaglia’s design for the Governolo Weir, and to place this Lombard engineer at the pivotal point between ‘practical’ waterway architecture based on traditional knowledge and a ‘theoretical’ approach based on scientific notions.
Keywords: Waterway architecture; cartographic survey; water governance
