1944-1946: Between the end of the war and the spirit of revival through sector journals.

In 1945, Italy was a ravaged country, bearing wounds caused mainly by the bombings that destroyed the population morally and the built-up area physically. Nevertheless, the spirit of revival is strong and animates intellectuals across the nation to question the prerequisites necessary for reconstruction. The article proposes a reading of the end of the war conducted in Italian journals in the construction sector to understand the point of view of intellectuals through the documentation of the rubble of the built environment and the solutions proposed to the theme of living.
