The beauty of Umbria lies in its mysterious yet magical places, like La Scarzuola, as @davcoppo aptly writes in Issue 01, Riv: Spiritualità: “But his dream as an architect, he writes in one of the many notes that he spread throughout his life, is to build himself an Ideal City, "which I saw in my imagination as a theatre fund, as a cover for my studio, as an Acropoli, Montagna Magica...". He then finds this Scarzuola, something he defines Buzzinda, and here he begins to think and then design, slowly, over decades – like a diary or a vision – the dozens of elements and buildings that make up this dreamlike architecture today.” Read the rest of Davide’s piece in Dreams, Symbols and Ruins: Visions Of An Ideal City in The Heart of Italy, an ode to Tommaso Buzzi’s La Scarzuola, and discover the rest of our issues online, at the link in bio.
