TOR DI VALLE RACETRACK

IPPODROMO DI TOR DI VALLE
1958/59 Julio Lafuente (1921), Gaetano Rebecchini, Aicardo Birago and Calogero Benedetti
"While the previous Capannelle racetrack went back to the Belle Epoque period, the Tor di Valle structure is the scenario of the myths and illusions of a society stunned by the euphoria of an extraordinary economic boom. It is a sophisticated product of architectural styling, defined by a figurative world that abolishes orthogonal rigidity and, with some brutalist style, research effects with the adoption of a register set based on the oblique line and geometric expressivity of the structural system due to a Piranesi's influence" (Giorgio Muratore)
