“Paolo
Portoghesi has read in Magni's professional journey a moment of uncertainty in
the formative period powered by a creative 'restlessness' that never reached a
consistent formal development, followed by the stage of international activity,
of maturation occurred in contact with the Central European culture. This
period of research is a prelude to the more fertile season of the Roman
architect that ends up with the academic period of the last works” (Giuseppe
Strappa)
