Description
Following the distortions suffered by the introduction of the Modern Movement in Fascist Italy, the country's architectural production went through a rebirth after the Second World War. The more international Modern Movement was combined with an increasingly local vision linked to an enormously weighty historical tradition and to the need to build in extremely dense historical cities. During these years Italy went on to become a bastion of modern architecture, one which defined the philosophical scope of all the subsequent contributions of a world class on the part of Italian theorists of the 1970s.
Buildings for commercial enterprises, housing estates, public buildings by architects such as Ernesto N. Rogers and his BBPR group, together with the Italian design that was exported world-wide, and the power of the specialised Italian press as a medium of international theorisation, help make this period of Italian architecture one of the most fruitful episodes of the European architecture of the second half of the 20th century. Evidence of this are such important works as BBPR's Velasca Tower, Moretti's Il Girasole apartment block and the housing estates of Ridolfi, Albini and Figini-Pollini.
