It almost seems like a provocation,
especially if written in a blog like
this, entitled Where is the
Italian architecture, but it is the truth; one of the most beautiful contemporary
buildings of Rome, and with contemporary I mean
built in the last 50-70 years,
was designed by a Danish architect.
It
is not an ordinary building, but the Academy
of Denmark, a gift from the Carlsberg Foundation, built on the design by
architect Kay Fisker between 1962
and 1967 in the area of Valle Giulia
near the pond of Villa Borghese, the
National Gallery of Modern Art and the main Faculty of Architecture.
