965. Orbetello 1940 Aviorimessa
















Dear Mario,

"The first important application of structural 
prefabrication based upon my designs and built 
under my supervision were the large hangars erected 
during 1940-41. Economic and structural considerations 
suggested prefabrication to achieve lightness to 
minimize materials and to speed construction. The six 
hangars I built were all destroyed during the war by 
heavy charges set at the foot of the sustaining buttresses, 
which dropped them to the ground" 
(Pier Luigi Nervi. Structures)

Happy new year!
