"Although Louis I. Kahns impact upon architectural debate and production in the United States of America is the object of exhaustive studies, much less is known about his direct and indirect contributions within the Italian context. This useful book gathers contributions by a number of different generations of Italian architects and educators who analyze and provide testimonials about this complex (and sometimes controversial) twentieth-century architect."

"Rome and the Legacy of Louis I. Kahn is a book that offers important insights into the American master architects close relationship with Rome and reopens the debate on the influence of his work on Italian architectural schools. It is a book that is more than welcome, since, in order to understand Louis Kahn, one must also take Italy into account."
Mario Botta, architect, Switzerland
"Beyond the analysis of Rome's influence on Louis Kahn, Barizza's and Falsetti's powerful melange of testimonies, interviews, and reflections opens an illuminating window into the complex and contested Italian architectural culture of the 1950-1960s."
