La Città Nuova took its name from Antonio Sant’Elia’s futurist city of 1914. A periodical “devised by artists”, it fought for the renewal of Italian architecture, as a quindicinale di architettura directed by Fillia in Turin.
The information on this page was extracted automatically from the issues and still needs to be reviewed.
Its large newspaper pages set rationalist and futurist buildings in Italy beside the modern movement abroad, from Le Corbusier’s villa at Poissy to new work in Spain, Switzerland and France.
This database holds 7 issues of 1934, with page-aligned transcripts and 32 buildings and projects extracted from the captions.
