Abstract

Giovanni Carlo "Charles" Micali, born in Livorno, Italy in the 1770s, worked with the Tuscany Funerary Monument Makers Association early in his career. He built a reputation and was personally sought to create the Tripoli Monument, the first monument in Washington D.C. It's unclear if he received other contracts for the original Capitol before its 1814 destruction.
