Arturo Mezzedimi (19 June 1922 – 30 May 2010) was an Italian architect who worked principally in East Africa and the Middle East. He designed more than a hundred buildings in the Horn of Africa, among them Addis Ababa City Hall and Africa Hall,[1][2] and planned more than twenty urban centres in Ethiopia.[3] In 1965 he received the Mangia d'Oro prize of the city of Siena,[4] and in 1972 was made a Grande Ufficiale of the Ordine al Merito della Repubblica Italiana.[5]
