Bonaiuti graduated in architecture at the
University of Florence in 1948, under the mentorship of
Giovanni Michelucci. In post-war reconstruction
Tuscany, he designed several residential buildings on Via delle Montalve (1956), Via Alamanni (1957), and Via Masaccio (1959) in
Florence; single-family houses in
Fiesole (1949); and multi-family buildings in
Pian di Scò, in the
province of Arezzo (1953). Between 1963 and 1965, he built housing on Lungarno Cellini and in Bellosguardo, in Florence. In 1968, he designed an office building and residential districts on Via Quintino Sella, and in 1969, a building on Via Leone X, in Florence. Bonaiuti also worked in urban planning, developing various land subdivisions in the Fiesole area and creating detailed plans for blocks between Via Rossellini and Via Dei (1970), and between Via Galliano, Via Maragliano, and Via Spontini (1972) in Florence. In 1976, he was involved in the renovation of the
European University Institute complex in
San Domenico, Fiesole. Together with
Carlo Chiappi, he designed the new schools in
Pontassieve and
Borgo San Lorenzo in 1979. Between 1976 and 1989, he focused on renovating the
Palazzo Panciatichi and the
Palazzo Capponi-Covoni on
Via Cavour in Florence, which were intended to house the
Regional Council of Tuscany. In collaboration with
Italo Gamberini,
Rosario Vernuccio, and
Loris Macci, he designed the new headquarters of the
Florence State Archives in
Piazza Beccaria between 1978 and 1982. Alongside his professional activity, Bonaiuti was also a member of the technical-administrative committee of the Public Works Department of Tuscany from 1969. ==References==
