CITTÀ, STRUTTURA, ORGANISMO

Luigi Piccinato, by Attilio and Gemma Belli, breaks away from traditional paperbacks to be a quality paperback, intended for academia, the professions and a public interested in the governance and history of cities. It is a valuable historical-architectural and urban planning synthesis rigorously grounded in laborious documentary and philological-critical excavation. To speak of Luigi Piccinato is to deal with a complex professional and cultural biography, which unfolds through a long and incessant professional practice, conducted from the 1920s to the very early 1980s. From the design for a church interior in 1928, presented at the First Exhibition of Rational Architecture in Rome, to the various drafts of the Plan d'urbanisme directeur in Algeria (1978-81), preceded by the Pescara stadium expansion project (1977), this was a craft exercised over more than fifty years.
