Between Geometric Shapes and Raw Materials: The Case of Brutalism in Italy
Briefly

The Brutalism movement emerged after World War II in the UK, initially facing criticism. However, in recent years, it has garnered renewed interest for its bold geometric designs and raw materials. This movement's reach extended across Europe, Asia, and Africa, adapting to various cultural and socioeconomic contexts. Italy's contribution to this architectural style is explored through the work of photographers Roberto Conte and Stefano Perego, who have documented their findings in a photographic essay titled "Brutalist Italy: Concrete Architecture from the Alps to the Mediterranean Sea."
