‘Bologna is a city in the Po Valley, but it has a grandeur that cities in the Po Valley do not possess…. The splendour of Bologna is entrusted to great urban architecture rather than to a single work.’ With these words, written in the report with which he presented the detailed plan of the city park and cultural-institutional centre of the Tabacchi factory in 1993, Aldo Rossi described the city and what he believed to be the peculiarity of its architecture.
The reasons for what is called ‘great urban architecture’ must be sought in the tireless dialogue that designers, from Bologna and elsewhere, tried to establish with the city and which characterises much of its production between the end of World War II and the present.
