Abstract

The paper deals with the performance characteristics of the Model 59 of the Agip motels, which is highly representative of the Italian construction during the economic boom of the 1950s and 1970s. A large-scale study has pointed out the position and the current state of all the fifty Agip motels designed and built between 1954 and 1970, thanks to a precise archival and digital research. Among these, the most common was the Model 59, whose project was drawn up by the engineers of SNAM Progetti and built in at least 35 Italian sites, with slight differences from a standardized construction type.
