In Italy, it was looked for the national style, guaranteed by the history of the nation, in the second half of the nineteenth century. Eclecticism was considered as the national style. But it was turned down by a medievalist C.Boito, and was officially rejected in the congress of Italian engineers and architects. Simultaneously the dispute about the national style came to an end. But this end of the dispute was a sign of eclecticism, which was insisted only for the new. Thus, after 1890, the new style was demanded regardless of the problem of the national style.
