Antoni Gaudí i Cornet
1852 - 1926
Antoni Gaudí i Cornet was born on June 25, 1852, in Reus, Catalonia; the son of Francesc Gaudí i Serra, a coppersmith, and of Antonia Cornet i Bertran, Gaudí was Christened Antonio Plácido Guillermo Gaudí i Cornet.Gaudí was inscribed in the School Maestro Berenguer at the Monterols Street in Reus, where he met Eduard Toda Güell, who would become one of his life long best friends. By the time he was eleven (1863), Gaudí attended his secondary studies in San Francis Convent, which was run by Pairists, and spent his summers at Mas de la Caldereta de Ruidoms. He was afflicted many times by rheumatic fevers, and this maintained him in solitude from the youthful games; during this long periods of time, he spent observing nature. It is also a fact that Gaudí was also a religious man, point which became increasingly more accentuated towards the end of his days. An example of this would be his self imposed Easter fasting which almost cost him his life in 1894. Upon recuperating from it, Gaudí designed the Nativity front of the Sagrada Família. His religious dedications is notable even in his secular creations such as Bellesguard, Finca Millares, Casa Clavet, Casa Batlló, and Casa Milá. On June 7, 1926, Antoni Gaudí was run over by a tram
