Giuseppe Terragni's training as an architect can be placed in the
complex starting point of Italian Rationalism, wavering between the Futurist
legacy, the metaphysical language of Valori Plastici, and the Classicism of the
Novecento - the complex and entirely Italian pathway to modernity, where the
form and the aesthetic of the building are subordinated to its technical and
practical features. Terragni loved to spend his nights working on a large table
"filled with drawings helter-skelter", a cigarette dangling from his
mouth in the company of his cat Demiurgo. His fellow workers described him as being big and tall, carelessly
dressed, with "heavy and awkward" hands that, however, were skilled at
drawing "a slender sign, a very subtle, vibrant and neat line". Thus
was born the Casa del Fascio, the architect's most representative work, a true
and proper manifesto of Italian Rationalism - but also the building destined to
interpret the spirit of the Fascist regime and to cause a stir. This was
followed by his great apartment buildings (the Case Rustici, Giringhelli,
Lavezzari, Toninello, Rustici-Comolli): it was the complex theme of the
"modern house" that the 5th Triennial held in 1933 had put forward as
the subject of architectural discussion. And then there was the great State
architecture on the occasion of the major Roman competitions: for the Palazzo
del Littorio, the Palazzo dei Ricevimenti e dei Congressi for the E42 (EUR),
and for the Danteum, none of which were ever realized.
Giuseppe Terragni records a significant chapter in the history of Italian architecture based on images, sketches, drawings and Terragni's own voice: his analysis of cities, modern architecture and the political-cultural controversy underlying his research.
