Ivo Lambertini (30 March 1909 â 15 April 1990) was an Italian architect and urban planner active in Tuscany and Albania in the 20th century.
Born in Syracuse, Lambertini studied in Modena and Bologna before enrolling at the Faculty of Architecture in Florence, graduating in 1934. He began his career under Raffaello Brizzi and contributed to the study of Brunelleschi's Dome and the modernization of the Teatro Comunale di Firenze.

After returning to Italy during World War II, Lambertini oversaw reconstruction projects in Tuscany, including churches, municipal buildings, schools, and urban plans. From 1948, he served as an architect and urban planner at the Public Works Department for Tuscany, acting as head of the Building Service and head of the Urban Planning Section, and from 1952 to 1954 he was appointed by the Ministry of Public Works to also direct the Urban Planning Section of Umbria.
