'Pride in Modesty brings a valuable new perspective to the scholarship on Italian modernism. Sabatino unquestionably establishes the vernacular as a major feature of Italian modernism and invites scholars to reconsider the topography of inter-war and post-war Italian architecture, which has far too long been defined by a narrow cannon of exemplars.' -- Lucy Maulsby 'Pride in Modesty offers the Anglophone scholar a rigorous and nuanced analysis not of Italian vernacular architecture per se but instead of the intellectual and creative engagement architects, engineers, and other proponents of modernist trends with everyday architecture in Italy during the twentieth century. Sabatino deftly navigates architects' adaptation of vernacular traditions under fascism...A compelling and insightful study of Italian Modernist architects.' -- Joseph Sciorra Buildings & Landscapes: vol 18:01:2011 'Sabatino's eloquent and significant study establishes and develops the critical ground that will serve as a bench mark for future research.' -- Andrew J. Manson , Traditional Dwellings & Settlements Review, vol :23:01:2011
