The invasion of the modern
The proposal of a modernity that erases the past: the project by Levi Montalcini and others, participants in the 1932 competition for the arrangement of the first stretch of porch in Via Roma, provides for the breach of the linear facade continues in glass on the square, with the obvious result of breaking with the original design.
The design shows the unwillingness of the designer to confront the pre-existence, denying it. This happens not only by providing a glazed curtain on the baroque facades, but also by drawing the side of Palazzo Madama as a trivial blind wall.
