The intense output of Gino Valle (1923-2003) has been extensively studied in monographs that have already brought out its complexity and contradictions. Our book seeks to reveal nuances that have so far remained undetected in previous studies concerning the collective aspect of Studio Valle?s output and its deep roots in the society of the second half of the twentieth century. Studio Valle was (and still is) a fluid practice, constantly evolving, where over time there have been several groups of partners and colleagues who have responded within the design and construction process to the requests of different clients, both private and public. This new point of view has opened up interesting reflections on the variety of the works, that corresponds to an explicit desire for experimentation. The collective work, together with the stimuli coming from its various social, geographical, cultural and economic contexts, has helped to define this at times contradictory and elusive multiplicity. The selection of works presented in our thematic study in depth is intended to be representative of Gino Valle?s oeuvre produced over a period of over thirty years, from his degree thesis in 1948 to the 1980s, and the breadth of themes that he dealt with partly in his homeland, Friuli, as well as various other parts of Italy and the world.
