I mercati coperti di Giuseppe Mengoni

Panattoni, Rita

Florence, the new capital of the Kingdom of Italy (1864-1870), went through a period of great transformation, which would leave significant traces in the city’s image and structure. The construction of the new markets is emblematic of the city’s infrastructural modernisation, with the introduction of new architectural languages and construction technologies of international standing. The Central Market at San Lorenzo is one of the most representative buildings of this modernisation process, a true masterpiece by Giuseppe Mengoni, the renowned designer of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan. This volume reconstructs its history from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, based on largely unpublished documentation. It places Florence and its new market in a European context where architecture, town planning, politics and finance are tightly intertwined. The Florentine case becomes a paradigm of the renewal of Italian architecture in the second half of the 19th century.

Firenze capitale del Regno d’Italia (1864-1870) conosce una stagione di grandi trasformazioni, che lasceranno tracce significative nell’immagine e nella struttura urbana. La costruzione dei nuovi mercati è emblematica della modernizzazione infrastrutturale della città, con l’innesto di nuovi linguaggi architettonici e tecnologie costruttive di respiro internazionale. Il Mercato Centrale di San Lorenzo è uno degli edifici più rappresentativi di questo processo di modernizzazione, capolavoro di Giuseppe Mengoni, celebre progettista della Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II di Milano. Il volume ne ricostruisce per la prima volta la storia in uno studio monografico, secondo una prospettiva comparativa e interdisciplinare, con una documentazione in gran parte inedita. La inserisce in una cornice europea, dove ugualmente si intrecciano architettura, urbanistica, politica, finanza. Il caso fiorentino diventa paradigma del rinnovamento dell’architettura italiana del secondo Ottocento.
