At the end of World War II, Italy was in ruins — reduced to rubble by months of heavy bombing. But an infusion of cash, first through the Marshall Plan and later through the European Economic Community, kicked off a period of rapid reconstruction. For various reasons — design errors, disregarded regulations and bankruptcies among them — hundreds of these buildings were never finished. “Some of them are almost ready to be opened, others are just holes in the ground,” said Andrea Masu, a Palermo-based artist. In the decades since work ceased, nature has reclaimed many of these structures. Others have been put to creative reuse as storage, skate parks and even temporary housing for Italy’s growing migrant populations. On a trip through Sicily late in the summer of 2006, Andrea stumbled upon these unfinished structures and met a friend who showed him more. Andrea had heard about Sicily’s unfinished buildings, but he had never seen such a dense concentration of them in one town. That evening, he decided he would devote himself to learning more. At the time, no one — not even the Italian government — knew exactly how many aborted projects had sprung up across the country during the postwar boom years. For more than 10 years, Andrea and the other members of his art collective, @alterazionivideo, crisscrossed Italy to document them. The 696 structures that they have identified and photographed to date (the group estimates that there are more than 1,000) appear in a new book, “Incompiuto: The Birth of a Style.” Through photographs and critical essays, the book makes the case that these unused buildings constitute a new style, the Incompiuto Siciliano. “It’s a significant architectural movement, because it says so much about what happened in our country,” said Paololuca Barbieri Marchi, a member of Alterazioni Video. The art collective took these photos of unfinished structures in Italy. Swipe left to see more, and visit the link in our profile to read on.
