Riccardo Morandi (1 September 1902 – 25 December 1989) was an Italian civil engineer best known for his innovative use of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete, although over the years some of his particular cable-stayed bridges have had some maintenance trouble.
Amongst his best-known works are the General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge, an cable-stayed bridge crossing Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela; a similar bridge in Genoa commonly known as Ponte Morandi (officially ''Viadotto Polcevera''), which partially collapsed in 2018 for reasons under investigation; and the Subterranean Automobile Showroom in Turin.
