Luigi Rosselli is an Italian born architect who practices in Australia. Having first come to Australia to work on the New Parliament house under Romaldo Giurgola, Luigi established his company of Architects Luigi Rosselli pty ltd in 1985 and continues to create his sensitive signature buildings today.
