L’involucro in marmo della casa delle armi di Luigi Moretti. Una sfida tecnica ancora in corso
The “Casa delle Armi” by Architect Luigi Moretti, even if strongly impacted by time and modifications performed during the 70s, is one of the most relevant works of Italian Rationalism. The external Carrara marble envelope of the building significantly characterizes this architectural work. Such envelope, even though apparently similar to those of many coeval buildings, actually displays very peculiar and unique technical and aesthetical choices. Starting from the construction phase, the technical choices led to many challenges and favored the decay of the stone cladding.
