Italy as seen from the A1 is like a vast open-air museum of architecture, from Chipperfield to Zaha Hadid
Opened in 1964 after eight years of construction, the Autostrada del Sole is the infrastructure that defined postwar Italy, becoming the country's first motorway to connect Milan and Naples. A monument to the economic boom, mass tourism and the automobile, the A1 is also something more: a journey through some of the most significant works of architecture in Italian history.
