Carlo Francesco Dotti (baptized January 1, 1670 – June 3, 1759) was an Italian architect from Bologna.

Life

Carlo Francesco Dotti was born in Piazza Santo Stefano died in Bologna, where he became one of the main protagonists of the late Baroque style.

His most famous work is the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, Bologna, which is raised on a hilltop above the city, consisting of a church topped by an elliptical dome, with extensions leading to two pentagonal pavilions.

In the first half of the eighteenth century he worked on the church of San Donato of Bologna, the university library and several palaces in the center of the city. In the Palazzo Davia Bargellini he executed the monumental staircase around 1730. He was also known for the Arch of Meloncello (1721); the altar of Ivo of Kermartin in the San Petronio Basilica; and the Renazzo parish church, in the town of Cento in the Province of Ferrara.

A street is named after him next to the road that leads up the Sanctuary of the Madonna di San Luca, just outside the center of Bologna.
