160. Mario Galvagni /// Galvagni House /// Carbuta, Calice ligure, Savona, Italy /// 1969-1976

Of Houses guest curated by Adam Štěch: “Mario Galvagni’s work still remains hidden in the shadow of Liguria’s mountains. At the beginning of the 1950s, he came to the city of Bergeggi and, together with the enlightened developer Pierino Tizzoni, proposed an experimental holiday resort for the Italian intellectual elite. Within ten years, the entire colony of wonderful vacation homes rooted their organic style very naturally with the surrounding landscape of the steep coastal slopes. Each of the more than thirty houses is different and its form and concept is based on interpreting the context. Later, during the 1960s, Galvagni decided to settle nearby his lifelong work. He bought an old country estate a few kilometers from the resort, close to Borgio Verezzi. Then, in the following years, he rebuilt this country house exploiting the organic futuristic style he mastered during his work in Torre del Mare.” (Photos 1-5 © Jaroslav Moravec.)
