Luigi Vietti, one of the leading exponents of Italian architecture in recent decades, was responsible for the design of the Argonauti complex.
A great communicator with a real depth of humanity, Vietti is the architect who designed the urban plan of Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1957, the urbanization plan of the Costa Smeralda in 1961, the regulatory plan of Portofino and a multiplicity of prestigious hotels all over Italy.
His profound respect for the natural environment, along with his focus on making the spaces he designs the right size for living in, is essential to every project Vietti works on. He is always searching for harmony with the environments in which his designs are to be built.
The best description of Luigi Vietti's design philosophy came from the man himself: "...[my style is all about] studying the spontaneous architecture of places, which means understanding the nature of those places themselves, their character and the character of the people who live there, understanding the culture and the reason for its existence - in short, entering into the soul of the place, since this is the only way that you will not violate that place in the process of interpreting the far-from-simple task of adding new buildings to the local environment."

Antonio De Nicolò started his career in 1986, straight after graduation. He worked mostly in the province of Bari on numerous projects such as company offices, buildings in historical centers and buildings for the agrifood industry, as well as on private residential developments.
Specializing for the most part in construction design and planning for public and private buildings, in the early 1990s, he started work on the design Argonauti Resort, on which construction was initiated in 1995. Today he is still working on the completion of this ambitious, large-scale project.
Like the architect Luigi Vietti, Antonio De Nicolò has a heartfelt love for his profession, which he considers an artform that, to be successful, must involve the expertise of artisans, the search for clarity, attention to detail and respect for the surrounding landscape.
