The Italian architect Vittorio Giorgini (1926 - 2010) was among the first artists to incorporate the topological concepts of space and transformation into architecture and art. In this paper, we first present Giorgini's beautiful pieces of art, which were largely unrecognized in his lifetime. Then we unveil the true mathematical types of some of his most famous sculptures.
