Inaugurating a set of provocative new questions, it stands to generate innovative architectural and scholarly debates for years to come. * Mia Fuller, University of California Berkeley, USA *\u003cbr\u003eAt once origin of the Western conceptualization of architecture as a discipline and institution, home to buildings that have become hypercanonized, and arena of historiographical debates, Italy is an undeniable presence in architectural consciousness, whether it is embraced or rejected. From a variety of perspectives the essays in this volume enrich and complicate our understanding of Italy’s position in global architectural culture. Together they amount to a critical examination of ‘architecture’s vision of itself’ over the long 20th century. * Maarten Delbeke, ETH Zürich, Switzerland *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/b\u003e   \u003cb\u003eAcknowledgements \u003c\/b\u003e   1.
