Luigi Caccia Dominioni (1913-2016) is among the most representative practitioners of the rich architectural heritage in Milan, a tradition that can traced back to a disciplines adherence to reality in which every architectural solution is firmly rooted in a stringent logic. This as a result of careful and patient search for harmony between place, techniques and materials. His professional career has followed a consistent trajectory that seems to have established a connection between ‘Rationalist rigor’ and ‘organic’ freedom of expression, without ever abandoning a constant attention for ‘pre-existing environmental factors’.

This crucial reassessment of Aldo Rossi's (1931-1997) architecture simultaneously examines his writings, drawings, and product design, including the coffeepots and clocks he designed for the Italian firm Alessi. The first Italian to receive the Pritzker Prize, Rossi rejected modernism, seeking instead a form of architecture that could transcend the aesthetic legacy of Fascism in postwar Italy. Rossi was a visionary who did not allow contemporary trends to dominate his thinking. His baroque sensibility and poetic approach, found both in his buildings and in important texts like The Architecture of the City, inspired the critic Ada Louise Huxtable to describe him as "a poet who happens to be an architect." Diane Ghirardo explores different categories of structures-monuments, public buildings, cultural institutions, theaters, and cemeteries-drawing significantly on previously unpublished archival materials and always keeping Rossi's own texts in the forefront. By delving into the relationships among Rossi's multifaceted life, his rich body of work, and his own reflections, this book provides a critical new understanding of Rossi's buildings and the place of architecture in postwar Italy.
