Tommaso Audisio

Tommaso Audisio (1789–1845) was an Italian priest, student of architecture, and an amateur practitioner of the art.

He was born in Moncalvo, a town near Asti in north-west Italy, in 1789. By profession he was a churchman, parish priest of Villadeati from 1817 until his death. But he is better remembered for his architectural and interior design projects which included a number of churches and furnishings for churches.harvnb|Direzione della Biblioteca Civica Franco Montanari|n.d.]

Audasio was also responsible for the design of the new seat of the Biblioteca del Seminario in piazza Calabiana, Casale Monferrato (1838).harvnb|Mazza|2002] The most important project which has been attributed to him, however, is the Castello di Belvedere at Villadeati. This was commissioned by Giacinto Magrelli as a villa-castle to replace the ancient fortress which dominated the hill-town. Stylistically it is noted for incorporating baroque elements into a neoclassical layout.harvnb|Comune di Villadeati|2003–2006.]
