La pietra artificiale nell’architettura del “ventennio fascista”. Conoscenza e sperimentazione per il restauro.

Cement and derived products have an essential role in the modern architecture language; in particular the production of artificial stone surfaces. It was used in architecture spread at the end of the XIXth century, when the application of “stucco” and “marmorino” was replaced by cement, properly pigmented to show aesthetically similar to natural stone. A cultural and technical recovery is essential today for the conservation of these artefacts, through a necessary knowledge of these techniques.
