This book is not just a history of architecture. It is also a story of the people who have built and lived in these houses. It is a story of their dreams, their struggles, and their triumphs. It is a story of how we have shaped our homes, and how our homes have shaped us.
Pasquale De Marco takes us on a journey through time, from the early days of the republic, when houses were built to last for generations, to the present day, when houses are often seen as disposable commodities.
