Abstract
This paper sheds light on Carolina Maraini Sommaruga's role as architectural patron and employer: two male-roles for the time that are still widely associated with her husband Emilio Maraini, a Ticinese sugar beet magnate in the early years of the Kingdom of Italy. The paper questions Carolina's leading role in the Industrie Femminili Italiane that is usually neglected by historians in favour of a female depiction confined to that of a philanthropic heroine.
