• Resumen

  • The article discusses an early 20th century speculative housing project in the “Quartiere Coppedè” of Rome, Italy, designed by the Florentine architect Gino Coppedè. The project was sponsored by the Genovese financial empire of Cerruti and was described variously as a cocktail of artful artlessness and medievalized Liberty style, both praised by the press and derided by architects as unRoman and monstrous. Particularly emphasized is Coppedè's use of decoration harkening back to archaic legend and myth.
