Este artículo pretende examinar cómo estos arquitectos utilizaron la fotografía entre la primera y segunda guerra mundial, un periodo en el que, como en otros países, siguió representando no sólo un instrumento fundamental para su formación, sino también un potente canal de difusión y propaganda de la arquitectura moderna.
The dissemination of the new architectural photography (linked to an unprecedented way of conceiving space and the development of modern architecture) in the 1920’s also brought architects in Italy closer to the use of the camera. This article has the objective of examining in what way these architects used photography during the years between the two world wars, in which, as in other countries, photography continued to represent not only a fundamental tool for their formation, but also as a powerful channel for the dissemination and propaganda of modern architecture.

Quando nel 1927 le due città tornarono a formare un unico comune col nome di Pescara esse avevano già da tempo consolidato una propria organizzazione funzionale degli spazi urbani, rimasta quasi inalterata fino ai nostri giorni. L’intervento intende ricostruire le vicende di carattere urbanistico e architettonico che hanno segnato la nascita e la trasformazione delle piazze principali e degli spazi pubblici di Pescara, progressivamente divenuti i “cardini” fisici e identitari dell’odierna città. Sulla base della bibliografia esistente e dei documenti d’archivio è stato delineato un quadro complessivo delle piazze e delle strade principali allo scopo di offrire uno studio originale su argomenti affrontati sinora dalla storiografia in maniera frammentaria.

The report was written for the request of Duke Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, who wanted to have more informations about the kingdom. This manuscript, little-known by scholars, is important because it provides a comprehensive picture of the political, social and economic conditions of southern Italy during the period of Austrian domination. It also contains informations of military importance, accompanied by no less than fifteen floor plans depicting the main strongholds of the Realm. Although based on previous designs, these rich graphic records, accomplished in pen and watercolor by an unknown author, were significantly updated in 1718-19, with particular focus on the structural defenses of individual towns. Furthermore, the illustrations are also easy to interpret due to the accurate written captions also supplied. Due to their superb precision, these documents are a valuable source of reference for research into the urban history of the Kingdom of Naples during the era of the Austrian Viceroyalty.

The building became in succession the seat of the French government, the royal palace of the Kings of Italy, and more recently the residence of the President of the Republic. Its layout and interior decoration were consequently modified several times, according to each resident’s needs and tastes. The article reconstructs the aspects of the palace in the original splendid period, the second half of the seventeenth century, with the aid of contemporary sources and drawings by architects who took part in the project such as Giovanni Fontana, Ottaviano Mascarino, Carlo Maderno, producing an hypothetical yet plausible rendering of the ground floor and first floor plans. Further detailed descriptions from contemporary documents are published in the Appendix.

Dalla seconda metà dell'Ottocento e fino alle soglie della seconda guerra mondiale, infatti, l'architettura per l'ospitalità, intesa nella sua accezione più ampia rispetto al concetto di albergo tradizionale, attraversò una fase di grandi trasformazioni dando prova della capacità di adeguarsi tempestivamente alle esigenze della vita contemporanea. Attorno a questo tema, esaminato in rapporto alle sue molteplici relazioni con il contesto urbano, con il paesaggio naturale, con le esigenze estetiche e funzionali e con l'evoluzione dei costumi e del gusto del tempo, si articolano i contributi raccolti in questo volume la cui finalità è quella di offrire riflessioni sull'argomento e di stimolare l'interesse per nuove ricerche.
