Summary:

"Since its construction in the early 1960s, in front of the cathedral and adjacent to the Roman archaeological area, the municipal office of Public Works in Piazza San Giovanni has been the focus of heated debate about its insertion into the heart of the old city centre." "The book sheds light on the controversial decision-making and planning procedures behind the building's construction." "A rich and intricate account emerges from comparison between the various urban planning and architectural proposals, which interpreted symbolic and civil values of the day."--BOOK JACKET.
