Tresigallo, the rationalist town

Tresigallo is one of the few remaining examples of rationalist architecture, the style in vogue during the period of fascist domination in Italy. Thanks to its rational, square-shaped buildings, it has earned the nickname of metaphysical town. In fact, walking around Tresigallo is like walking inside a painting by the painter De Chirico. Tresigallo represents a happy and absolutely solitary experience of architecture, one of the few remaining examples of a foundation town designed at the drawing board, a heritage of social suggestions that only a "living" theatre can suggest. Tresigallo, that for its recognizable peculiarity, linked to a precise historical period, has obtained the recognition of "City of Art", is, in its entirety, a historical and cultural heritage. To be seen in particular: the "D" shaped square, the church and the portico rich in bas-reliefs, the intersections of the streets with buildings with symmetrical facades.
