Forgotten Architecture began as a Facebook group on 28 May 2019, with the aim creating a virtual space in which to share projects that have been forgotten or overshadowed in Europe and the rest of the world. The basic idea behind Forgotten Architecture is a simple one: to recover projects by less well-known architects and neglected works by great masters, to conduct in-depth research on “minor” figures, combining different approaches in Architectural History with which to supplement university programs in this field. Created by Bianca Felicori, a researcher and writer on architecture, the group has quickly become a social phenomenon, giving rise to a true community and interacting with an audience within the sector but also outside it. 

In 2022 Forgotten Architecture becomes a book, in a limited edition for Italian readers. Today, for the release of its new edition in English, Nero Editions – with the MACRO Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome – has organized a guided visit and a presentation at Villa La Saracena, through forgotten and rediscovered works by Luigi Moretti, summing up the sophisticated theoretical reflections conducted by Moretti on the pages of Spazio, and his spatial, constructive, sculptural and lighting research on Mediterranean housing.  

The project, published by NERO and curated by Bianca Felicori, has been implemented thanks to the support of the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture, in the context of Italian Council (12^th edition, 2023), and is sponsored by RESIDENZA 725.
