This
groundbreaking and authoritative two-volume survey is the first truly
comprehensive history of modern Italian architecture and urbanism to
appear in any language. Told in lively prose, it recounts more than 250
years of experimentation, creativity, and turmoil that have shaped the
landscape of contemporary Italy.
Volume II: Visions of Utopia, 1900 Present, tracks the development of
Italy s architectural avant-garde through the upheavals of the
twentieth century. Beginning with the development of Italian art
nouveau--"stile liberty"--and moving through futurism, fascism,
rationalism, and on to the creative experimentation of the present day,
it explores the work of such pivotal figures as Raimondo d Aronco,
Antonio Sant Elia, Adalberto Libera, Giuseppe Terragni, Pier Luigi
Nervi, Gio Ponti, Carlo Scarpa, Aldo Rossi, and Renzo Piano.
The Architecture of Modern Italy is exhaustively illustrated with rare
period images, new photography, maps, drawings, and plans. With Colin
Rowe's Italian Architecture of the 16th Century, it provides a nearly
complete overview of the history of Italian architecture.
