Item Number: 117043 Title: modernita ai margini : ETTORE STELLA 1915-1951 Author: Acito, Luigi Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788837088408 Description: Milano: Electa, 2011. 28cm., pbk., 121pp. illus. Italian text. Summary: Stella made his own professional and human contribution so that his home town, Matera, could be reborn. It was he who first denounced the appalling living conditions of the inhabitants of the 'Sassi'. His work to modernize the town seems even more courageous and daring if we think about how emarginated Matera was during its brief existence. Stella introduced the new architecture, new excitement and new examples of International Modernism. Matera became a centre of research for town-planning and architecture and Stella was one of its pioneers.
