Nel panorama architettonico italiano del primo ventennio del Novecento Gino Coppedé, architetto fiorentino di orientamento eclettico, nel corso della sua attività professionale svolta principalmente tra la Liguria e la capitale, si avvicina, lambendone i caratteri stilistici formali soprattutto nell’ambito del dettaglio, a quello che in Italia venne definito “stil-nuovo” o “stile floreale” o Liberty, in altri termini la declinazione nazionale dell’Art Nouveau.

Gino Coppedé was an eclectic Florentine architect who actively contributed to Italian architecture during the first two decades of the twentieth century. During his professional career, his formal style—above all his drawings—was very similar to what in Italy was known as “stil-nuovo”, “stile foreale”, or Liberty, in other words the Italian version of Art Nouveau. This contribution reviewed the many works he executed in Rome during the last period of his career. Our critical analysis concentrated on the representation methods and communicative-graphic mediums used by the architect.
