{"product_id":"9783869220369","title":"Eugenio Miozzi : Modern Venice between Innovation and Tradition 1931-1969","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite the fact that he shaped Venice and its contemporary form, Eugenio Miozzi remains a little-known figure. Yet both locals and visitors experience his legacy every day, in particular when they cross his bridges: from the Ponte della Liberta, to the Ponte dell'Accademia; from the various bridges over the Rio Nuovo, to the exemplary Ponte degli Scalzi. Miozzi, chief engineer of the Commune of Venice from 1931 to 1954, carried out a large number of works and projects, including a vast modernist parking garage and the Casino on the Lido. The prolific engineer-architect played a role in the development of the Teatro La Fenice, made plans for the restoration of the city and the extension of the Tronchetto, and designed a translagoon road and a motorway from  Venice to Munich. These projects and the others presented in this illustrated volume represent Miozzi's tireless efforts to guarantee the city's survival by combining its centuries-old traditions with a spirit of innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rye Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41183010324632,"sku":"9783869220369","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/1368\/0730\/products\/9783869220369.jpg?v=1634992471","url":"https:\/\/ryebooks.co.uk\/products\/9783869220369","provider":"Rye Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
