Robaldo Morozzo della Rocca (1904-1993) shaped the architectural landscape of Italy - especially Genoa - through changing times. His work is impossible to categorize and, without taking any political stance, expressed itself in a variety of styles between the periods of the monarchy and the republic: from futurism to neoplasticism, and from Fascist rhetoric to experiments with concrete.

This monograph not only reconstructs the past, but also reveals the present-day -relevance of Morozzo della Rocca's approaches. It demonstrates how it is possible to take an autonomous path and simultaneously develop a universal vision of the world through architecture. Presenting his most important works - ranging from villas and palazzi to apartment buildings and his INA Casa projects - this publication traces the story of an architect who was ahead of his time and whose influence is tangible to this day.
