The newly founded centers in the Agro Pontino. From the local to the global, from the past to the contemporary, to the future

At the beginning of the Twentieth century, new towns and new villages were founded in the Agro pontino of southern Lazio, proposing an architecture capable of both interpreting the language of modern movement and to be respectful of the genius loci. The architecture of these newly founded cities, as for other Italian and European centers, was often the expression of authoritarian social and economic models or, in any case, incompatible with a democratic and pluralistic vision of society.
