None Modern Rome : From Napoleon to the Twenty-First Century PDF
by Italo Insolera
Edited by Marco Zumaglini, Lucia Bozzola, Roberto Einaudi
Description
After fifty years and fifteen editions and reprints in Italy, this classic, groundbreaking work in the field of historical urban studies is now published in English.
A masterful, fluent narrative leads the reader through the last two centuries in the history of the Eternal City, capital of the Papal State, then of the united Italy, first under the monarchy and subsequently the republic.
Rome's chaotic growth and often ineffective urban planning, almost invariably overpowered by building speculation, can find an opportunity for future redemption in a vibrant multicultural society and the enhancement of an unequalled archaeological heritage with the ancient Appian Way as its spine.
With respect to the last Italian edition of 2011, the volume is updated, enriched in text, indexes, maps and photographs.
Historians, urban planners, architects, decision makers, university students, and anyone who is interested in one of the world's most intriguing cities will enjoy this book.
