Born in Salerno, in 1921, Vittorio Gigliotti graduated in civil engineering from the University of Naples. Since 1948 he has worked as a free professional. In 1960 he opened in Rome, in collaboration with Bruno Zevi, the AZ Architects and Engineers studio. In 1964 he opened, next to Paolo Portoghesi, the Pincian Gate Studio in Rome. The collaboration between both studies gave great results in the realization of various works in Italy, but also abroad, giving as fruit some of the greatest exponents of postmodern architecture. Gigliotti is particularly notorious for its projects for cultural, residential and commercial buildings.

The Baldi House, made of the two in 1969, is considered one of the first examples of postmodern architecture.

In the seventies and the eighties dates the planning and implementation of various important works, among which the Church of the Holy Family, held in between 1971 and 1974 to Salerno and the Mosque of Rome whose work began in the 1984.
