Maximilian Fabiani, commonly known as Max Fabiani ((スロベニア語:Maks), (イタリア語:Massimo)) (29 April 1865 – 12 August 1962) was a cosmopolitan trilingual Italian architect of mixed Italian-Austrian ancestry, born in the village of Kobdilj near Štanjel on the Karst Plateau, County of Gorizia and Gradisca, in present-day Slovenia. Together with Ciril Metod Koch and Ivan Vancaš, he introduced the Vienna Secession style of architecture (a type of Art Nouveau) in Slovenia.〔(Andrej Hrausky, Janez Koželj: ''Maks Fabiani: Dunaj, Ljubljana, Trst.'' ), Mladina, 12 August 2010〕 ==Life== Fabiani was born to father Antonio Fabiani, a Friulian latifondist from Paularo of Bergamasque ancestry, and mother Charlotte von Kofler, a Triestine aristocrat of Tyrolean origin. He grew up in a cosmopolitan trilingual environment: besides Italian, the language of his family, and Slovene, the language of his social environment, he learned German at a very young age.〔Marco Pozzetto, ''Max Fabiani'', MGS PRESS S.a.s., Trieste (1998) p. 15.〕 He came from a wealthy family that could afford to provide a good education for its 14 children. He attended elementary school in Kobdilj, and the German- and Slovene-language ''Realschule'' in Ljubljana, where he was the best student in the class after seven years. He later moved to Vienna, where he attended architecture courses at the Vienna University of Technology. After earning his degree in 1889, a scholarship enabled him to travel for three years (1892–1894) to Asia Minor and through most of Europe. He was married and had two children; his son Lorenzo Fabiani (1907–1973) was an agronomist and journalist. In 1917, Fabiani was named professor at the University of Vienna,〔http://www.rtvslo.si/kultura/razstave/fabiani-kot-mislec-in-clovek/140983〕 and in 1919 one of his pupils, Ivan Vurnik, offered him a teaching position at the newly established University of Ljubljana,〔Janez Koželj et al., ''Ivan Vurnik, slovenski arhitekt - Slovene Architect'' (Ljubljana: Organizacijski odbor projekta Vurnik, 1994).〕 Fabiani however refused the offer, quit the teaching position in Vienna, and decided to settle in Gorizia, which had been annexed to the Kingdom of Italy, thus becoming an Italian citizen. On 15 May 1921—less than a year after the burning of the Slovenian National Hall in Trieste, which he had designed—Fabiani became a member of the Italian fascist movement. The reason why he joined the party and his political activity in the following years remain unclear and controversial. In late 1935, Fabiani accepted the nomination for mayor (''podestà'') of his native Štanjel by the Fascist regime, for the National Fascist Party.〔 He remained mayor during World War II, using his knowledge of German language and his cultural acquaintances to convince the German troops to spare the village from destruction.〔Marco Pozzetto, ''Max Fabiani'', MGS PRESS S.a.s., Trieste (1998) p. 72.〕〔Neera Gatti, ''Lettere ad un amica'', Ergon S.r.l, Gorizia (1951) p. 26,27.〕 Nevertheless, the monumental fortifications part of the village, which he himself had renovated during the 1930s, were eventually destroyed in the fight between the Wehrmacht and the Slovene partisans.〔http://www.slosi.info/01gradovi/02podrobnejse/primorska/ss-7/stanjel3.php〕 In 1944, Fabiani relocated back to Gorizia, where he lived until his death on August 12th, 1962.〔Pizzia, Katia. 2001.
