Abstract

Rooted in a historical path with solid academic roots and conditioned by the economic policies of the fascist regime, in the post WWII period the Italian engineering culture, and Pier Luigi Nervi enjoined an extraordinary international fortune that crossed the borders of the Cold war. The paper intends to highlight some key-aspects of this complex phenomenon, which in itself represents a fundamental and only partially written page in the history of architecture characterizing the developments of the design culture in the years of the Cold War, both in the West and in the Socialist world and in the USSR in particular.
