The Modern Movement in Italy: Architecture and Design
Museum of Modern Art, New York
1954
About
Why this artist matters now
Giuseppe Terragni was an Italian architect and designer whose work bridged rationalism and fascist-era modernism between the 1920s and early 1940s. Working primarily in reinforced concrete and steel, he developed a stripped, geometric formal language applied to public buildings, residences, and furnishings in Como and Milan. His Casa del Fascio in Como exemplifies his approach to monumental civic architecture through clean lines and functional clarity. Terragni died in 1943, before the postwar reconstruction that would reshape Italian design discourse.
