Abstract

During Franco’s regime the Instituto Nacional de Colonización built around three hundred
new villages. Twenty years before, Mussolini’s regime, Italy had sponsored a similar operation: the
bonifica integrale. Spanish literature that revises the INC often refers to the Italian precedent.
However, these references remain only on a shallow level. This study proposes an analytical
comparison of the two operations, from the standpoint of an analytical reading at different scales.
Taking in both cases the same analytical tools, we will discover apparent similarities and differences
between them. This will bring awareness to the issue with adequate structural rigor of urban and
architectural analysis. As Spanish study case are taken the villages constructed in Extremadura as
a significant sample. From Italy are mentioned the most striking examples, by their broadcast or by
the impact they had, stressing on the knowledge, that technicians serving Spanish Colonization,
architects and agronomists, had.
The result of this analysis is an in-depth comparison of two operations with many points in common.
