This is the first-ever monograph on Verona-born architect Armando
Ronca (1901-70), a significant protagonist of Italy's post-war
Modernism. Following his studies in engineering in Genoa, Torino,
and Padova he started working as an architect in Trento before he
established his own studio in Bolzano in 1935. Ronca soon became a
leading proponent of Modernism in architecture in Northern Italy.
In 1944, he opened a second studio in Milano, where the 1948
expansion of the San Siro football stadium in collaboration with
the structural engineer Feruccio Calzolari was the largest single
project of his entire career. This new book documents Ronca's life
and work, featuring in detail some forty of his designs mainly in
the Trentino-Alto Adige and Lombardy regions, richly illustrated
with original plans and drawings by Ronca and period photographs.
Newly commissioned images by Austrian architecture photographer
Werner Feiersinger present all of Ronca's preserved buildings in
their current state. Essays by Andreas Kofler, Massimo Martignoni,
Giorgio Mezzalira, Magdalene Schmidt, Luigi Scolari, and Jorg
Stabenow, and a complete catalogue of Ronca's built and unrealised
projects and interior designs round out the book. Text in Italian
and German.
