Modernist High-Rise Buildings in Italian Seaside Resorts: Contemporary Interpretation and New Technological Challenges
Some Italian seaside locations are characterised by iconic high-rise buildings, mostly built between the 1950s and the 1960s. Although quite limited compared to more recent coastal developments around the world, these buildings remain significant landmarks, still shaping the skyline of their locations. The skyscrapers of Milano Marittima (1957), Cesenatico (1958), Rimini (1959), and Livorno (1966), are among iconic elements of Italian post-war modernist architecture during the years of the so-called economic boom, certainly representing a new architectural language. They embody the spirit of post-war Italian architecture, although not reported in architecture magazines, due to their location in tourist areas compared to large seaside cities such as Genoa or Naples, or most likely due to their functional language, conceived by unknown designers. This essay outlines the debate between planners, municipal administration and historic preservation boards (Soprintendenze) at the time of the original design, with respect to such an impacting action on the landscape; 70 years after their conception and construction, these landmarks are facing new challenges. The architectural and technological features of this contemporary heritage suggest new interpretations and lines of transformation between pure preservation actions and profound refurbishment.
