Too Good to Be True: the Savona Courthouse

Abstract

The article analyzes the Palace of Justice of Savona designed and built by Leonardo Ricci between 1972 and 1987, highlighting its aspirations and design motivations. In particular, the main aim is to trace the reasons why both the building and the area it occupies are now so degraded in the surrounding conditions of the project.
