Architetti viaggiatori: Rava, Alpago Novello e Caccia Dominioni

The text analysed the role played by three preminent Italian architects in shaping a colonial visual landscape for the architecture of the Twenties and Fourties. Starting from a first-hand knowledge of the Horn of Africa, where they had all been as travellers (or in the case of Caccia Dominioni as military leard), these architects have provided a cultural connection among the "motherland" and the Italian colonies in both directions. The chapter is based on documents studied in the architects' personal archives.
