This article describes the contribution architects Lorenzo Durini Vasalli and Francisco Durini Cáceres in the construction of a new image for urban public space and the super vision of monuments in Ecuador, combining their academic knowledge and their vast experience. The descriptions of their commemorative monuments, reveal a universal message: freedom, victory and progress. This is characterized in Latin American independence intellectuals and heroes, at the beginning of the 20th century, when symbols of the newly established republics were created. The quotes and some photographs are part of the “Museo de la Ciudad” Quito archive, where the Durini Collection is located and contains 1.632 documents that include personal documents, letters, telegrams, photographs, plans, architectural and construction catalogs, drawings, watercolors and other drawings which belonged to Lorenzo and Francisco Durini.
Key words: Public space, Durini, italians, Ecuador, monuments, centenary of independency.
