Aldo Rossi and Ignazio di Loyola: the architect and the saint. Both are authors of autobiographies that describe not only the events of their life but how their experience is the result of a project. This essay shows some features of the autobiography as a tool of construction and legitimization of the author. Moreover, Rossi's architecture is depicted as expression of an autobiographical project.
