Notes
Rassegna was an intellectual architectural magazine of the highest quality. Dedicated to architecture in its broadest meaning, to the culture of design in all its expressions, to the art of design and the design of art, to technique and aesthetics of both craftsmanship and industrial production, but above all to the stories and protagonists of this human experience.

The magazine investigated the reasons and the expressions of design and aesthetic research by collecting important iconographic materials and excellent critical contributions relating to industrial design and graphics, photography and theatre, fashion and urban planning, decoration and garden design, all conceived as an expression of architecture in its most modern meaning—an expression of design.

Sponsored by a series of enlightened companies belonging to the Italian design scene (Ariston, B&B Italia, Castelli, Grandi Lavori Strutture, iGuzzini, Molteni&C, and Sabiem), directed by Vittorio Gregotti, designed and curated by Pierluigi Cerri, Rassegna was both widely informed by history and firmly rooted in modern culture, representing a case study in the history of architecture publishing.

The 77 monographic issues published between 1979 and 1999 are characterized by their rigorous intellectual coherence and refined understatement, which can be found both in the sober essentiality of the covers—made of a light dust jacket in embossed paper—and the issues titling discretionally positioned in brackets.
