«Controstoria dell'architettura in Italia. Barocco. Illuminismo» is Bruno Zevi's essay on architectural history, in paperback.
Bruno Zevi's essay surveys Italian architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries: from the creative freedom of Longhena, Borromini, Guarini and Rainaldi to the restraint of Bernini, Juvarra, Vanvitelli and Piermattei, culminating in the neoclassical turn. It also addresses the Counter-Reformation and Enlightenment culture, with episodes such as the reconstruction of Noto and the Piazza di Spagna in Rome.
Published in 1996 by Newton Compton Editori, in Italian and with 100 pages, it belongs to the Il Sapere series; the back cover cites it as the penultimate of the five volumes of Zevi's controstoria.
For students and enthusiasts of architectural and art history who can read Italian.
Bruno Zevi was an Italian architect, historian, professor, curator, author, and editor. Zevi was a vocal critic of "classicising" modern architecture and postmodernism.
