They are thematic routes that include more than one hundred architectures that testify to the excellence of Italian architectural culture in the second half of the 20th century. The titles of the themes are the first communication tools. Inspired by the productive revival of the 1950s and 1960s, they mark the start of a collective journey from what we were to what we are. Not referring to circumscribed territorial areas but to the entire national territory, they interpret the unifying features of works belonging to even distant geographical contexts, within an extremely varied heritage.
The itineraries indicated should be read as open and exemplary. Open in the sense that, with reference to the prevailing character highlighted by the itinerary, they can be increased. Exemplary in the sense that they do not exclude the many other ways of interpreting the heritage of Italian architecture of the second half of the 20th century. All the works in the general itineraries were the subject of a photographic campaign.
