narrating the industrial space: intellectuals and the italian
"La febbre del cemento" refers to a central, thematic concept in Italo Calvino’s 1957 novella, La speculazione edilizia , rather than a separate, complete text. It depicts the rapid, chaotic, and environmentally destructive urban growth during Italy's post-war economic boom, often describing the transformation of the Ligurian coast, and serves as a critique of capitalist greed and ecological degradation. This concept is explored through the eyes of an intellectual who finds himself participating in the very building frenzy he despises.
