El título del libro de Jean-Christophe Bailly, París quand même, lo dice todo y sugiere: la crítica radical y furiosa de la falsa modernidad se ve atenuada por el apego que queda por lo que es y podría suceder en esta ciudad siempre seductora.

La relación del arquitecto italiano Aldo Rossi con la península ibérica dio comienzo a mediados de los años sesenta y se prolongó hasta su muerte. Sus viajes a España y Portugal fueron numerosos a lo largo de todos esos años, durante los cuales no dejó de experimentar el impacto de determinadas arquitecturas ibéricas en su modo de entender y practicar la arquitectura, en el contexto del pensamiento analógico que caracterizó su personalísima poética.
