Gaudí was born on 25 June 1852 in Riudoms or Reus [10] to coppersmith Francesc Gaudí i Serra (1813–1906) [11] and Antònia Cornet i Bertran (1819–1876). He was the youngest of five children, and far outlived the other two who survived to adulthood: Rosa (1844–1879) and Francesc (1851–1876).
[1] After five years of work and schooling, Gaudi qualified as an architect in 1878. As Elies Rogent signed Gaudí's degree he declared, "Qui sap si hem donat el diploma a un boig o a un geni. El temps ens ho dirà." ("Who knows if we have given this diploma to a nut or to a genius. Time will tell.") Gaudi immediately began to plan and design.
