The seventh volume in the Piccoli MAXXI series is dedicated to the brilliant and multifaceted Pier Luigi Nervi. A passionate observer of the natural world, an excellent student, inventor and designer, and later a pioneer in the use of reinforced concrete in Italy, Pier Luigi remains one of the most famous figures in the world of architecture. The book traces his history by recounting his most famous works: stadiums, cathedrals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings and private residences, a universe of incredible projects to inspire curious children. An illustrated glossary at the end of the book helps young readers understand the more technical words used in the text. At the same time, an activity inspired by the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome invites them to recreate the most fascinating design challenges with their own bodies.
