Sur fond de contestation des jeunes et des ouvriers d'Italie, des avant-gardes florentines transposent ces systèmes à l’échelle de l'espace public. C’est dans ce contexte, rendu particulier en Italie par les analyses marxistes de phénomènes métropolitains et territoriaux, que naît le projet des Archizoom de la No-Stop City, Residential Parkings, Climatic Universal System (1969-1972). C'est à un voyage intérieur au sein de ce pays de cocagne pop que nous convie Roberto Gargiani.
