L'Amatore plot

A journey through the image archive of architect Piero Portaluppi, who left his mark on the city in the 1920s and 1930s with, among other things, the Hoepli Planetarium, the RAS building and countless villa homes for the wealthy inhabitants of Milan. The man, who once meticulously kept track of how much soup, meat, wine and salad he consumed in a year, shows in his collection of films an equally carefully directed picture of his personal and social life in a turbulent period in Italian history. A period in which Portaluppi's architectural style evolved from Gothic Revival to Modernism, as he rose to the ranks of the elite where he found his clientele and effortlessly conformed to the prevailing ideology of Mussolini's fascism.
