Le architetture di Frank Lloyd Wright Patrimonio UNESCO

14 Luglio 2019

Ci sono anche l'iconica Fallingwater, in Pennsylvania, e il Guggenheim Museum di New York tra gli otto edifici progettati dal Maestro dell'architettura statunitense Wright divenute nei giorni scorsi Patrimonio dell'Umanità UNESCO. Le strutture, costruite in vari luoghi degli Stati Uniti, compongono insieme il sito multiplo "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright", così come deciso nel corso della 43esima sessione di valutazione delle candidature da parte del World Heritage Commettee UNESCO. Nella stessa occasione, anche l'Italia ha conquistato un nuovo riconoscimento: Le Colline del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene sono infatti diventate il 55esimo sito italiano inserito nella prestigiosa lista internazionale.
