- Summary:
- It has been called the twentieth century's most beautiful house. Isolated at the tip of a craggy promontory on the Italian island of Capri, CasaMalaparte has captivated modern architects and designers with the graceful powerof its lines and the drama of its setting...the stuccoed, Pompeian red box appears to have grown straight out of the rock.Its remoteness adds to its dreamy allure. Its simple shapebelies its assertive, sculptural presence."-"Michael McDonough
- This handsome book is the first in-depth examination of the CasaMalaparte. Through original correspondence, plans, and drawings, MaridaTalamona uncovers written and graphic evidence attributing the house'sdesign to the client (writer Curzio Malaparte) rather than the architect(Adalberto Libera). The book includes archival and current photographs andnew drawings, as well as an introduction by Giorgio Ciucci.
