SPECIAL NOTE
Giovanni Michelucci was an Italian architect, urban planner and designer. He was born in Pistoia lived almost hundred years, he died two days before his hundredth birthday at his studio-home in Fiesole in Florence's hills. He had the good fortune to live a long life almost entirely within the span of the twentieth century, giving us a valuable witness through his work with innovative architectural vernaculars and proposals, from his understanding of the complexity of events, transformations, and ideas that animated the twentieth century. He was one of the major Italian architects of that century, known for famous projects such as the Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station and the San Giovanni Battista church on the Autostrada del Sole.
