Italian Futurist Architecture: Angiolo Mazzoni and the Study Case of Littoria Post Office

Through the study case of Littoria post office building it was possible to reconstruct the character of architect and engineer Angiolo Mazzoni Del Grande. As employed at the Minister of Communication and thanks to his work, he was a protagonist within the Italian architectonical events in the thirties. His adhesion to Futurism, the editorship of architectonical magazines and the active participation at the cultural debate of those years, gave the opportunity of a clear picture of the Italian architectonical culture among vanguards, new styles and constructive techniques and a constant comparison with history and classicism. Moreover it was realised also a precise graphical and documentary reconstruction of the numerous projects of Littoria post offices.
