ACM Group

The company was founded in 2003 in St. Petersburg. Originally it was a "Personal Creative Architectural Workshop", created by architects-restorers who worked in the State Hermitage.

According to the company's projects, more than 160 monument buildings have been restored.

On April 03 at the Foundation “In Memory of the Names of the Victims of the Blockade” on Konnaya Street, 24, in St. Petersburg, will be held a lecture by architectural historian Victor Korentsvit “Unknown architect of early St. Petersburg Francesco Fontana”.

The fate of this Italian in Russia is surprising. When and from where he came to St. Petersburg is exactly unknown, disappeared also mysteriously. Dates of life, where he was born and where he died - also not known. There are no portraits. Was there a family? He knew Russian. Built palaces for Peter, Catherine, Menshikov, Kikin and other first persons of the state. But his buildings - in doubt, attributed to others or listed under the category of “architect is not established”. Even with the name there were misunderstandings. Traces in Europe were lost. He was not honored to be among those chosen for the memorial plaque “Architecture of St. Petersburg”, but left an invaluable architectural legacy in the capitals of Russia.

About this amazing and mysterious fate and will tell the famous architectural historian Victor Korentsvit, once participated in the projects where the architects worked “ACM Group”.
