Summary:

"The buildings of Italia '61, from the Palazzo del Lavoro to the Palavela, were for many years regarded as incongruous within the cultural and urban context of Turin. With the 2006 Winter Olympics they are enjoying a revival, albeit of an often paradoxical sort. This is a chronicle of the events and people behind the construction of the exhibition area. What future should this group of buildings, extraordinary both in terms of sheer number and quality, have in the city?"--BOOK JACKET.
