This book tells the tale of the prolific Italian architect,
inventor, farmer, writer, and engineer Gaetano Ciocca, whose career
took him from the battlefronts of World War I to Stalin's Russia,
Mussolini's Italy, FDR's America, and finally to postwar
liberal-democratic Italy. Like celebrated counterparts such as
Walter Gropius and Le Corbusier, Ciocca was a visionary so
confident in his vision of a future in which all aspects of life
would be rationalized and modernized that no set of practical or
political obstacles could ever stand in his way. Ciocca's endeavors
included the development of "fast houses," a "theater for 20,000
spectators," the "guided roadway," and the rationalist pig farms
referred to by Carlo Belli as "Ciocca's Grand Hotel for Pigs."
