“Mazzoni was
considered a Futurist architect especially for his polychromy and his
'polimateria' as he used to describe a wide range of materials and colors used
for his accomplishments. (...) In fact, the experimentation and the variety of
figurative results that characterize the work of Mazzoni make it difficult to
reduce his language to a single common denominator. Proof of this is his
particular method adopted in the preparation and presentation of projects;
usually he would propose a series of solutions in different styles: classicist
for the regime, traditionalist required by the local administrations, modern
according to his personal sensitivity” (Alessandra Capanna - Dizionario Biografico degli
Italiani Treccani)
