Involved in the most lively Venetian intellectual circles, Scarpa spent much of his life in the city on the lagoon, drawing on it for his inspiration.His contribution in the field of museum design is so decisive that it represents a chapter in itself in the history of 20th-century architecture, from the renovation of Palazzo Abatellis in Palermo to the Castelvecchio in Verona.
The volume illustrates all of the architect’s relatively limited output, through a fine selection of photographs and drawings, and an extensive system of critical profiles and descriptions.
