The modern world has the ancient Romans to thank for the origins of many modern technologies, conveniences, and ideas, from running water, baths, and republican-style government to roads. Similarly, by the third century BCE, the Romans were prodigious monument builders, so much so that the memory of the great Roman Republic and the Roman Empire continues to exist within a cityscape of stone. Rome’s public spaces were filled with statues, arches, temples, and many other varieties of monumental images, and each of these structures had its own civic or religious function.

Per quale motivo tutti, o quasi tutti, vogliono vivere in città? Le possibili risposte sono molte. Livio Sacchi, da architetto, è convinto che il principale motivo per cui le città piacciono così tanto sia sostanzialmente uno solo: in città ci si sente e si è più liberi che altrove. Affrancando le identità dei singoli dalle aspettative familiari e sociali e permettendo a chi vi abita di provare a diventare ciò che vuole, le città consentono qualcosa di molto prossimo all'autodeterminazione del proprio essere.

"Ci vuole un'intera vita, anche lunga se ti riesce, per imparare, capire, raccogliere tutto assieme. Magari per fare un edificio in cui mettere i desideri della gente, l'invenzione del costruttore e la poesia degli spazi. E, per poterlo fare, bisogna aver conosciuto tanta gente, aver camminato per molti luoghi in silenzio. Bisogna aver viaggiato, sofferto, letto tante pagine, aver avuto molti amici e forse aver rubato loro qualche idea."

Tottering under the weight of rising taxes and a growing sense that they had no place in 20th-century Britain, hundreds of ancestral piles were dismantled and demolished. Perhaps even more surprising was the fact that so many of these great houses survived, as dukes and duchesses clung desperately to their ancestral seats and tenants' balls gave way to rock concerts, safari parks and day trippers.
