Nel 1934 Giuseppe Terragni realizza un monumento sull'altipiano di Asiago per Roberto Sarfatti, primogenito della famosa Margherita caduto al fronte nel 1918. Il memoriale ancora oggi ci stupisce per la sua modernità: una "monumentalità senza stile" che riflette sulle forme primigenie dell'architettura. In mostra sono raccolte cento opere originali. Dipinti di Sant'Elia, Sironi, Boccioni, Funi documentano i legami di Margherita Sarfatti, fautrice del Movimento Moderno in architettura, con i futuristi comaschi e artisti del gruppo Novecento. Oltre cinquanta disegni autografi di Terragni testimoniano la sua ricerca di un moderno monumentalismo, nel quadro di una più ampia costellazione di monumenti di architetti del '900 da Loos a Gropius, da Lingeri a Mies, da Aldo Rossi a Carlo Scarpa, presenti con disegni autografi e modelli.
In 1934, Giuseppe Terragni, the centenary of whose birth is marked by the present exhibition, designed a monument in the mountain region of Asiago to commemorate Roberto Sarfatti, the first-born son of the famous Margherita Sarfatti; he lost his life on the battlefront in 1918. The exhibition situates this and Terragni's other monuments within the larger context of Margherita Sarfatti's role as proponent of 1920s and early 1930s debates on art and architecture. More than 50 of Terragni's original drawings document his research in modern monumentality, among a more ample constellation of monuments of twentieth-century architects, from Loos to Gropius, from Lingeri to Mies, from Aldo Rossi to Carlo Scarpa, represented by original drawings and models.
