Starting from the eponymous book, a rereading of some useful articles to learn about the cultural climate of the time and Vietti’s ‘lesson’.

‘Would you like to tell us about rational architecture?’ is the title of an interview that, in 1932, L’Economia Nazionale addressed to architect Luigi Vietti (1903-1998), a talented author who was penalized by critics for never wanting to recognize himself in ideological “currents.”
