ARCHITECTURE AND THE NOVEL UNDER THE ITALIAN FA...

Architecture and the Novel under the Italian Fascist Regime discusses the relationship between
the novel and architecture during the Fascist period in Italy (1922-1943). By looking at two
profoundly diverse aesthetic phenomena within the context of the creation of a Fascist State
art  Billiani and Pennacchietti argue that an effort of construction  or reconstruction  was
the main driving force behind both projects: the advocated revolution of the novel form
(realism) and that of architecture (rationalism). The book is divided into seven chapters 
which in turn analyze the interconnections between the novel and architecture in theory and in
practice. The first six chapters cover debates on State art  on the novel and on architecture 
as well as their historical development and their unfolding in key journals of the period. The
last chapter offers a detailed analysis of some important novels and buildings  which have in
practice realized some of the key principles articulated in the theoretical disputes.
