Saverio Muratori

Saverio Muratori (1902-1973) was an influential Italian architect and historian known for his work on urban history and preservation. He emphasized the importance of understanding the historical context of cities and advocated for restoring rather than completely rebuilding historic areas. Muratori’s research focused on how architecture and urban planning evolve over time, helping to shape contemporary approaches to conservation and heritage. His most notable work, "Il Progetto Città," explores the interplay between structure and environment in urban development, highlighting the need for thoughtful integration of new designs within the existing urban fabric.
