Italianità nelle costruzioni sperimentazioni ‘autarchiche’ di materiali a matrice vegetale ed animale

The industrial experiments of Italy in the early 1900s, driven by the government's autarchic policies, led to the testing of a wide range of materials and the substantial modification of the production systems, in particular in the construction field. In fact, through complex industrial processes, it began the production of vegetable and animal origin materials: felting of animal hair, synthetic wool or cellulose-based plant materials, represented the vast range of products capable of ensuring low weights, ease of installation on site, transportability, economy and good energy performance.
