These two freshly published books by
Chiara Ingrosso provide new insights on Barcelona's urban and architectural history:
the first analizes
the city transformations from Franco's dictatorship to future urban plans;
the second draws
a route around four neighborhoods, Barceloneta, Poblenou, La Mina and Bon Pastor. Both of them are illustrated with
Mario Spada photographies, and, as a whole, they show the catalan capital very different as how it is usually represented in Europe and in the whole world, underlining its several
dark sides.
