Aldo Rossi is one of the most famous Italian architects in the world and the first italian architect to win Pritzker Award, the nobel prize for architecture.
He was born in 1931 and earned a lot of fame for his new urban conception. He held that the city remembers its past (our collective memory) and that we use that memory through monuments that is monuments give structure to the city.
Two of his most important works are very peculiar; the first one “La Cupola” the expresso maker produced for Alessi is a design object and the second one, the “Teatro del Mondo”, is a temporary monumental architecural work designed for the Venice Biennale in 1979.
