The strand of rationalist was last here in Italy with clearly identifiable characteristics. There is no town or village throughout the boot (and also held in the colonies until 1943) that does not preserve a building with the distinctive styles of architecture even so-called "regime". In fact, the fascist regime has identified, in the person of Mussolini (also apparently on the instructions of Sarfatti who approached and passionate "cult of the Roman"), wanted to connote a type of architecture that, like other totalitarian regimes present in Europe and the rest of the world, magnify and identify. Series esedre, sober, and marked linear, angular and curved bodies characterize municipal offices, homes of the beam, the kicker, schools, hospitals and residential buildings and civil engineering. The building, in those years, coinciding with the global crisis of '29, is seen as a buffer to the widespread unemployment in the lower classes. It is no coincidence that, especially from the thirties onwards, there has been a strong momentum building and still remain numerous examples of what is produced in that twenty year period and who survived the bombing and war all'incuria, demolitions and Subsequent to oblivion.
now the time has come to be freed these sites (especially in reference to the villages and towns established much more prosperous during that time) by memoriae damnatio in which they were wrapped in post-war period, for obvious political reasons and social.
Notwithstanding the individual visions, the controversial period between the wars is back in great interest in recent years is in film and television culture in general (exhibitions, exit stamps, books). Can not be ignored just about the architecture that rationalism has seen engage a large group of young architects and valid as Giuseppe Terragni, Marcello Piacentini, Angiolo Mazzoni, Enrico Moretti of Debbio and Louis to name a few.
the rich array of publications that have counted the fascist period in many different aspects, there is a photo report from the center of Manfredonia Foggia published by Palombi Editori. The 36-year old author Marco Guerra, a native of central Siponto but who for some years in Rome, has dedicated his publication (Manfredonia, photographic tour of a city "disappearance" www.palombieditori.it , info from the author at the e-mail 03498825881@vodafone.it ), in addition to his home town fans in Typically, the 70th anniversary of township of Siponto, today the district of Manfredonia, which is regularly cited in books about the founding of the city but that there were no photos of the time that the certificate. Another tribute, in short, to the frenetic architectural production and the operating of the masses, which are realized by the mid twenties until the end of the second world war. Even today, unfortunately, often short-sighted and foolish municipalities, especially small towns, do not capture the historical value that has been inherited from that period also very earnest in terms of culture more generally, which should then be assessed with minds free from ideological prejudices and not guilty of knowingly and deleted.
