Emili Blanch was one of the victims of Francoism. Responsible for the construction of the Generalitat of Catalonia during the Republic and outstanding representative of rationalist architecture, lived repression and exile the Civil War. The event, one of many, is a particularly loaded with intense personal testimony, but also is an example of a brilliant professional profile victim of the regime's systematic repression and total victory. One case led to the exodus and neglect in this work is intended to be resituated in history, the prominent place that surely would have achieved without the mediation ominous forty years dictatorship.
