The project takes its title from the 1986 novel by Enzo Striano, which recounts the life story of Eleonora de Fonseca Pimentel, and the revolution of 1799 that led to the birth of the short-lived Neapolitan Republic. Between subjectivity and history, the book explores the possibility of social and anthropological change during an era of significant transformation in Naples. The exhibition begins by looking at the work of one of the most visionary figures of the Italian architectural scene in the second half of the twentieth century, Aldo Loris Rossi.
