Pier Luigi Nervi

The seventh volume of the PICCOLI MAXXI series - produced with RAUM Italic - celebrates the brilliant and multifaceted Pier Luigi Nervi. A keen observer of nature, an inventor, designer, and pioneer of reinforced concrete in Italy, Nervi remains a major figure in architecture.The book retraces his story through his most iconic works: stadiums, cathedrals, skyscrapers, industrial buildings, and private homes - an extraordinary world designed to inspire young readers. An illustrated glossary explains key technical terms, and an activity inspired by Rome’s Palazzetto dello Sport invites children to explore some of architecture’s most fascinating challenges with their own bodies.
