Richard Rogers
Born in Florence in 1933 to an English father and an Italian mother, Richard Rogers came to England as a young child when war was threatened. As a boy, Rogers did not excel academically but always had a keen interest in art.

Studying at the Architectural Association, the renowned London school, a young Rogers won a Fulbright scholarship to Yale in 1961. Here he and his first wife, Su Brumwell, encountered fellow English postgraduate, Norman Foster.
