Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca (Paperback)

Paperback. Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca (19041993) shaped the architectural landscape of Italy especially Genoa through changing times. His work is impossible to categorise and, without taking any political stance, expressed itself in a variety of styles between the periods of the monarchy and the republic: from futurism to neoplasticism, and from Fascist rhetoric to experiments with concrete. This monograph not only reconstructs the past, but also reveals the present-day relevance of Morozzo della Rocca's approaches. It demonstrates how it is possible to take an autonomous path and simultaneously develop a universal vision of the world through architecture. Presenting his most important works ranging from villas and palazzi to apartment buildings and his INA Casa projects this publication traces the story of an architect who was ahead of his time and whose influence is tangible to this day.
