Died October 19, 1770. Turin. Italian architect. After studying in Rome, he returned to Turin in 1733 and was active mainly in Piedmont.

Guarini's Architettura civile (1737) and written two architectural manuals himself (60, 66). His main works include the Pilgrim's Chapel in Barinotto, the Basilica of Santa Chiara in Bra (42), the Basilica of Santa Croce in Vilanova di Mondovi, and the Basilica of Santa Maria di Piazza in Turin (51-54).
