The Rationalist movement gained fame in Italy through the establishment of the "Gruppo 7" by Gino Pollini and Giuseppe Terragni and others. It was an avant garde movement that was parallel to the Bauhaus movement in Germany. Like the Bauhaus, it was based on strict, clean, architectural lines but it was also a design philosophy that was political in nature as a response to the heated political climate in the late 20s / early 30s in Italy.
