Coppedè: un'enciclopedia urbana
An alternative guide to Rome's Coppedè district, decoding its dense symbolic language. Beyond the striking aesthetics, this publication identifies and explains the architectural symbols embedded in the district's fabric. Walking through Coppedè is like stepping into a fever dream of Art Nouveau, Liberty, and medieval fantasy—all colliding in a single Roman neighborhood.
Paired with a functional minimap, the layout serves as a compact tool for navigating and understanding the visual complexity of Gino Coppedè's vision. Each symbol becomes a story, each facade a chapter in an urban encyclopedia waiting to be read.
The project treats the neighborhood as a living archive rather than a collection of isolated monuments. Its visual system moves between classification and wonder, turning research into a walkable narrative where every detail becomes a clue and the city itself becomes the reader\u0027s guide.
