The project focuses on the contributions made by four important figures—Ada Louise Huxtable, Ernesto Nathan Rogers, Astra Zarina, Bruno Zevi—to the international architectural debate of the postwar period. The study is part of a research project that aims to look at the works of these four architectural theorists, two Italians and two Americans, from a particularly American perspective, given that their projects, exhibitions, writings, and lectures were aimed at an American audience. It explores the significance of Italian culture on the postwar transatlantic intellectual exchange and the role they had shaping the American perception of Italy.
