About this title

Review

-- Dennis A Doordan, Architectural Record " Manfredo Tafuri's "History of Italian Architecture, 1944-1985 fills a tremendous gap in the English literature on postwar architecture.... Since the end of World War II, few architectural communities have questioned the nature and purpose of architecture as thoroughly or as thoughtfully as have the Italians. Now Tafuri has opened the door for American readers to this complex and fascinating chapter in recent history." -- Dennis A Doordan, Architectural Record & quot; Manfredo Tafuri's History of Italian Architecture, 1944-1985 fills a tremendous gap in the English literature on postwar architecture....
