As part of the initiative Bologna 2000, European City of Culture, is an exhibition which finally pays homage to Giuseppe Vaccaro, an architect born in Bologna but with strong connections with Rome. He worked in Italy from the early 20s to the end of the 60s and often appeared on the pages of Domus.
A little known architect who produced some very interesting architecture such as the Palazzo delle Poste e Telegrafi at Naples (1928-36), the Scuola di Ingegneria in Bologna (1931-35) and the AGIP holiday residences at Cesenatico (1936-38), he was one of the leaders in terms of research into the city and housing during the Italian post war period.
Alongside original drawings and photographs of the architecture taken at the time, the exhibition also includes a contemporary “re-reading” in the photographs of Gabriele Basilico.
