Luogo di confronto e di dibattito, tanto che alcuni testi possono essere intesi in continuo e aperto dialogo nel tempo, gli Annali intendono scandire, con una certa duttilità temporale rispetto ad un'unica rivoluzione terrestre, il ritmo delle riflessioni scientifiche che si compiono nel Dipartimento di Architettura e Urbanistica per l'Ingegneria dell'Università di Roma La Sapienza. La precisazione del tema di questo secondo volume degli Annali, Nella Ricerca, vorrebbe dare un senso della prosecuzione del viaggio che si sta sviluppando all'interno del Dipartimento per chiarire i contenuti del lavoro e portarli al confronto.

This is the first complete survey and thematic profile of one of the most prolific and accomplished Italian architects of the century. From the Richard-Ginori chinaware and the founding of Domus magazine in the 1920s and '3Os, to the Pirelli tower erected in Milan in the 1950s to the "facade" architecture of the '70s, Gio Ponti has been a major force in the shaping of twentieth-century Italian design.

Fascism, Architecture, and the Claiming of Modern Milan, 19221943 chronicles the dramatic architectural and urban transformation of Milan during the nearly twenty years of fascist rule. The commercial and financial centre of Italy and the birthplace of fascism, Milan played a central role in constructing fascism's national image and identity as it advanced from a revolutionary movement to an established state power. Using a wide range of archival sources, Lucy M. Maulsby analyses the public buildings, from the relatively modest party headquarters to the grandiose Palace of Justice and the Palazzo del Popolo d'Italia, through which Mussolini intended to enhance the city's image and solidify fascism's presence in Milan. Maulsby establishes the extent to which Milan's economic structure, social composition, and cultural orientation affected Il Duce's plans for the city, demonstrating the influences on urban development that were beyond the control of the fascist regime. By placing Milan's urban change in its historic context, this book expands our understanding of the relationship between fascism and the modern city.
