Rome has had an enormous influence on European art and art history for
over 2,000 years. Indeed, the city was the birthplace of the foundations
of western architecture. This architectural guide encourages visitors to
go beyond the most frequently visited historical landmarks to explore
the hidden architectural pearls of Rome. The focus is on unusual - yet
less-known - buildings that were built from the second half of the 20th
century onwards. From cultural and educational institutes, sport
facilities, and residential buildings to sacred and mixed-use buildings
through to transport infrastructure: this book presents 140 projects
that cover a wide range of architectural styles and typologies.
