Le città europee sono più di un luogo fisico, più della somma dei loro edifici, sono l'esito di una "intenzione estetica" che nasce dalla quotidianità dei cittadini. Marco Romano ripercorre le origini storiche di questa lunga ricerca della bellezza, individuando così il contributo fondamentale, sebbene poco raccontato, che le donne hanno dato a questo sviluppo. È stato infatti l'intuito e il desiderio femminile a suggerire ieri come oggi molte soluzioni che hanno dato forma alle nostre città, dalle capitali ai villaggi.

Each one of them has a fascinating story to tell and is best understood and appreciated as a milestone in the history of Rangoon. The audiobook has two parts.

The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.

Per quale motivo tutti, o quasi tutti, vogliono vivere in città? Le possibili risposte sono molte. Livio Sacchi, da architetto, è convinto che il principale motivo per cui le città piacciono così tanto sia sostanzialmente uno solo: in città ci si sente e si è più liberi che altrove. Affrancando le identità dei singoli dalle aspettative familiari e sociali e permettendo a chi vi abita di provare a diventare ciò che vuole, le città consentono qualcosa di molto prossimo all'autodeterminazione del proprio essere.

Da Genova a Itaca, un viaggio intimo alla ricerca della città perfetta e una riflessione sul senso del costruire. "Ci vuole un'intera vita, anche lunga se ti riesce, per imparare, capire, raccogliere tutto assieme. Magari per fare un edificio in cui mettere i desideri della gente, l'invenzione del costruttore e la poesia degli spazi. E, per poterlo fare, bisogna aver conosciuto tanta gente, aver camminato per molti luoghi in silenzio. Bisogna aver viaggiato, sofferto, letto tante pagine, aver avuto molti amici e forse aver rubato loro qualche idea."

Es ist ein Schock für die ganze Christenheit: Konstantinopel ist gefallen! Verbissen haben die Byzantiner die Stadt verteidigt, doch die Übermacht der Türken war erdrückend.
