Spazio, potere, architettura
nel pensiero del Novecento
A cura di Matteo Vegetti,
Carocci editore, Roma 2009 (pp. 274, € 24,80)
When in 1648 the Peace of
Westphalia sanctioned the new
state order, it ended the history of
the medieval city in so far as the
right of the States took away all
its juridicial and military autonomy.
This left the problem of the
city as a place of streets, buildings
and churches. This book is truly
remarkable for the range of situaitons
and the number of authors
examined. It is a shame it does not
mention Carlo Cattaneo’s interesting
book La città.
