History [ edit ]
Born in 1888 Lombardy , Italy , he was the nephew of the sculptor Vittorio Novi from Lanzo d'Intelvi , a village close to Lake Lugano in northern Italy, province of Como .
Around 1914, Novi created the marble decoration for the new Mahaiudthit Bridge in Bangkok [2] Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall .[3] [4]
In Singapore Nolli later designed the marble decorations of the College of Medicine Building, Singapore (completed 1926)[5] Old Supreme Court Building (completed 1939).[1] [6] [7] [8] Elgin Bridge spanning the Singapore river (completed 1929).
In 1950 to 1952 he created two iconic crests for Gan Eng Seng School at Anson Road,[9] Fullerton Building built in 1924-28 Bank of China Building, Singapore (1954).[10] [11]
Probably his last commission was the stonework for the huge Omar Ali Saifuddien Mosque in Brunei (completed 1958) which inspired the novel Devil of a State by Anthony Burgess .
