P.R. Olgiati

Peter Rudolph "Rudy" Olgiati (August 24, 1901 – August 6, 1989) was the 55th Mayor of Chattanooga, Tennessee from 1951 to 1963. During his time in office, Olgiati oversaw the arrival of the interstate highway, the beginning of the Civil Rights movement, and the city's first urban renewal project. He is often accused of being one of Chattanooga's last political bosses. He is also the namesake of Chattanooga's P.R. Olgiati Bridge.
== Early life ==

Born Peter Rudolph Olgiati in Gruelti, Grundy County, Tennessee, he was a first-generation American, his mother being from Switzerland and father being Spanish. After his father's death, Olgiati moved to the Alton Park neighborhood of Chattanooga at the age of 6 with his mother. Olgiati briefly attended the Chicago Technical Institute before going to work at the Chattanooga Glass Company. He then moved on to a career in construction as a bricklayer, later working his way up to the position of superintendent.〔 In the 1930s, Olgiati moved his way into the public-sector, joining Chattanooga's City Utilities Department and becoming the superintendent of Chattanooga's Warner Park. After the outbreak of World War II, Olgiati used his construction knowledge and leadership skills in the US Army Corps of Engineers. Over the duration of his military service he became a major before being discharged at the war's end in 1945.〔
In 1946, Olgiati took his first public office after being appointed to fill an unexpired term as Commissioner of Chattanooga's Department of Public Service, or "Streets and Sewers."〔 In 1947, Olgiati ran for the same position and won a full term as Commissioner. Four years later, in 1951, he ran against incumbent Mayor of Chattanooga, Hugh Wasson and won. Olgiati then served 4 terms over a total of 12 years, becoming one of Chattanooga's longest serving mayors.〔
