He was a Rector of the Politecnico di Torino and President of CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche).His theories found important applications in modern techniques of construction, such as pre-stressed concrete.
He is remembered for Colonnetti's theorem (or Colonnetti's minimum principle) which states that in equilibrium the potential energy function W* is minimized.
