Completed in 1963 and designed by Bruno Zevi and Vittorio Gigliotti, the Beinasco Library, now a Cultural Hub, was recently restored by Carlo Ostorero of Dedalo Architettura. Its history is closely linked to that of the Einaudi family. In 1961, following the death of President Luigi Einaudi, the Municipality of Dogliani asked his son, the publisher Giulio Einaudi, for a monument to commemorate his father, who had familial ties to the town. Giulio decided to donate a library to the community, which was inaugurated in 1963. For the project, he involved Zevi from Rome, who designed a strongly contemporary building based on a civic vision of architecture as an opportunity for the country renewal. From that library, Zevi developed a highly functional and economical prefabricated module, with the idea of fostering a network of similar constructions in small and medium-sized Italian towns. Today, however, the former Nino Colombo library in Beinasco remains the only completed example of this type.
