Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we are focusing on how 18th-century Rome’s apartment buildings embodied ideals of simplicity, harmony, and beauty. Architects like Raguzzini approached these structures with a sense of balance and integration, blending them seamlessly into the city’s urban landscape. From the use of curves to create flow and movement to fostering community through thoughtful design, we reveal how these buildings reflect the Arcadian vision of finding elegance and grace in everyday life. Reflections on Debenedetti's article, Middle-Class Rome: From the Baroque City to the European Capital.
