Verona

Tra le luci del tramonto e il silenzio dell’Adige, ho un luogo da mostrarti…

un ponte che custodisce silenzi,

un castello che, al calar della sera,

rivela la sua anima più misteriosa.

Cammina con me …

Lasceremo che i passi si intreccino lungo il ponte,

che i riflessi del fiume accendano i nostri sguardi,

e che il profilo antico del castello ci racconti storie di amori lontani.

Passeggeremo lungo l’Adige,

dove il vento sussurra storie d’amore e di destino,

e forse, tra le pietre antiche di Castelvecchio,

qualcosa di magico accadrà.

Lascia che sia il fiume a guidarci,

e la notte a raccontare il resto.

I was more than pleasantly surprised when I saw it at my fav local bookstore: Richard Murphy‘s epochal “Carlo Scarpa and Castelvecchio Revisited”, the present, very extended edition published in 2017. The book is a dedicated tribute to Carlo Scarpa’s magnum opus, the Castelvecchio in Verona which he consecutively remodelled in three stages between 1957 and 1975. This extensive work is most meticulously (and beautifully) documented by the author: the book literally bursts with details, analyses, drawings, photos and insights into the genesis of this incredible building, testament to the work of a dedicated researcher. It’s impossible to find a better book about this key work of Scarpa and, given its limited edition, every admirer of the master’s work should own a copy. As you might have recognised I am very enthusiastic about this book but a book of such depth and detail doesn’t cross my desk very often. An epochal work!

Old and new coexisting in the Castelvecchio castle in Verona. Carlo Scarpa’s restoration transformed a traditional Medieval building in a modern fascinating place to discover in every detail.
