Catani Memorial Clock Tower : 13-March-2012
Photographs supplied by Graeme Saunders
The clocktower and bronze bust commemorate Carlo Catani (1852 - 1918), the chief engineer of the Public Works Department who was highly respected in St Kilda.
Catani's last major project was the reclamation of the foreshore of St Kilda. He was an original member of the St Kilda Foreshore Trust, set up in 1906, and after his retirement in 1917 he continued as government representative. He designed the landscaping of the gardens at the beach end of Fitzroy Street, later named the Catani Gardens, and was responsible for the foreshore works all the way to Point Ormond.
