Francesco Cellini

A PIAZZA-EFFECT FOR THE LAYERED CITY. The enhancement of Augustus’ Mausoleum in the drawings of Francesco Cellini

Drawing and History are two important keys to understanding the work of Francesco Cellini, a Roman de-signer who often found himself having to deal with the past and within contexts of great historical im-portance. The competition for Piazza Augusto Imperatore in Rome, won in 2006, proposes a strong urban solution to a site that perhaps even more than others in the Capital has seen the alternation of overlays, rethinkings and impairments over the centuries.
