Collection de Pierre-Jean Mariette
Price e 70,00
Price e 600,00
After the reproduction of the complete auction catalogue illustrated by Saint-Aubin
and kept in Boston, a necessary tool through which to track down many of the items,
the entire drawing collection which belonged to Pierre-Jean Mariette (1694-1774)
began his collection during brief sojourns in Italy and, from 1750 onwards, devoted
himself exclusively to this pursuit. During his lifetime he put together almost 9,000
items, carefully cataloguing them according to school and type. When he died, they
were scattered as a result of 42 auctions (between November 1775 and January 1776).
The incredible task of putting the collection back together was made possible because
of the trade-mark (a capital M) which Mariette stamped on every drawing he owned
and by the unusual mounting of each drawing on a blue background (‘Mariette blue’)
which brought out the best qualities of the drawings. The whole collection will be
published in six volumes: the first two are devoted to the French School, three to the
Italian school and one to the Dutch, Flemish and German schools.

For the first time Germano Celant writes about the group of
artists comprising Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo
Calzolari, Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa
Merz, Giulio Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo
Pistoletto, Emilio Prini and Gilberto Zorio, for which he himself, in
1967, coined the term “Arte Povera”.
The book is a collection of theoretical texts, focusing on both the
art of the movement and the styles of the individual artists, and
concentrates as much on the movement’s contingent side as on
its fragmentary, contradictory, pluralistic way of creating art.
But, above all, it is a comprehensive update on his reflections
in 1985, the year of the book entitled “Arte povera, storie e
protagonisti” (Arte Povera, Stories and Protagonists), which was
written by Celant himself, was never distributed and, since it was
only circulated among those involved, became a much-soughtafter and inaccessible cult item.
This book contains an anastatic copy of the original, providing source
of reference and an opportunity to take a new look at Arte Povera.
Since 1967, the language of Arte Povera has brought within its
scope water and stone, fire and electricity, words and ideas, and
has even involved animals and plants, which take on particular
significance because they belong to the primary, essential world.
This field of art has always been based on a de-constructive
attitude, which takes into account the many different kinds
of artistic expression in relation to the context in which it is
created. The constant innovation and originality of the Arte
Povera movement over the years made it a lasting influence on the
Italian contemporary art scene.
The anastatic copy of the book is presented in its complete form, in a smaller refined
edition, as an introduction to the broader-ranging work about Pierre-Jean Mariette’s
collection. The five volumes of drawings by French, Italian, Dutch, German and Flemish
artists will be presented to the public from November 2011.

The Arte Povera movement first appeared in 1967 and was the
focus of Giovanni Anselmo, Alighiero Boetti, Pier Paolo Calzolari,
Luciano Fabro, Jannis Kounellis, Mario Merz, Marisa Merz, Giulio
Paolini, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto,
Emilio Prini and Gilberto Zorio.
After Futurism and Metaphysical Art, it made the largest
contribution to changes to the international artistic language. Over
the years, this body of artists, both singly and collectively, gained
recognition in large exhibitions and important monographs but
there has never been an exhibition that presented their wealth
of technique. This is the reason behind the plan to exhibit the
movement’s entire path in museums in different Italian cities
with the intention of highlighting all the passages in its history
8
between 1967 and 2010, and with every museum concentrating on
one stage. To achieve this aim, symbolic of the 150th anniversary
of Italian Unification, the research focused on the exhibition
venues - the Museo d’Arte Contemporanea-Castello di Rivoli, La
Triennale in Milan, MAMbo Museo di Arte Moderna in Bologna,
MAXXI Museo delle Arti del XXI secolo and the Galleria Nazionale
d’Arte Moderna in Rome. The material gathered during the phases
of research and securing loans for the exhibitions forms the core
of this extensive publication, with approximately 200 illustrations
and theoretical contributions from experts, philosophers and
directors of museums of national and international standing who
have analysed the significance of Arte Povera in the history of art
and in the contemporary culture.

The Kunsthaus in Zurich is paying tribute to the German master
by staging an important international event that forms an integral
part of the exhibition entitled “Joseph Beuys – Difesa della Natura”
(Joseph Beuys – Defense of Nature), curated by Lucrezia De
Domizio Durini and Tobia Bezzola.
This book marking the birthday of this German painter and
sculptor, who was one of the most authoritative and innovative
voices of post-war society, is published in English and German.
The book, about 1,000 pages long, containing more than 200
illustrations from the historical archive of De Domizio Durini,
describes the Living Sculpture which made Beuys famous,
together with the historical background that is fundamental to
comprehending his thinking and work. A vital tool for a better
understanding of his teaching on the environment, nature and
ecology.
The book also recalls Beuys’ decisive role in the founding of the
Green movement in Germany and emphasizes the on-going
commitment of his output, which was geared to improving the
human condition, as well as providing readers with an update on
the new trends of the post-Beuys period.

Beatriz Milhazes is a Brasilian artist, born in 1961 in Rio de Janeiro.
Milhazes is known for her work juxtaposing Brazilian cultural
imagery and references to western Modernist painting.
Beatriz Milhazes’s paintings are seductive. They are like a rare
Amazonian plant - at once both ravishing and deceptive, full of
layers, unexpected tricks and treats. Milhazes has over the past
two decades built up a rich and complex repertoire of images,
forms and colours in her work. While she shows an adventurous
fusion of influences, her canvases have an undeniably Brazilian
flavour - filled with brightly coloured elements relating to a
string of popular Brazilian motifs, from carnival-inspired imagery
to tropical flora and fauna. Her paintings are in the permanent
collections in many institutions, including the Museum of Modern
Art, the Guggenheim, the The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the
Banco Itaú, and the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía.
She also painted the Tate Modern Restaurant’s mural.
A photographer globally renowned for her experiments with light, she has exhibited
her works in the world’s leading galleries and is represented by one of the most famous
contemporary art gallery, the Gagosian Gallery. A highly personal interpretation of the
light box enabled Elisa Sighicelli to play with light and the details of her photographs.
Her partial illuminations, carefully studied, succeed in creating spatial depth and
metaphysical concepts, that are almost beyond any dimension of time. Sighicelli’s visual
research focuses on comparing micro and macro scales on an equal basis, thanks
to a conscious use of the horizon, the interplay of shadows and reflected light. This
construction highlights the void which, when carefully studied and examined, assumes
undeniable constructive importance. The space is wisely organized, pregnant with
traces of memory, shadows and the unknown, but, without the human figure, only highly
evocative. To begin with, the themes of the light boxes are details of interiors (chairs,
beds, armchairs), then more open environments, followed by landscapes, drawing
continuous inspiration from her travels. Along with photography, Sighicelli also explores
the field of video, using the same care with regard to composition: Boudelaire (2004),
Non-Stop Exotic Cabaret (2007), Nocturne (Trajectories) (2006), Dance-Bound (2007)
up to her most recent works, the book provides a complete description of her work.
SUBODH GUPTA

Hardcover
Price e 90,00
The first monograph on key indian contemporary art exponent Subodh Gupta, with
contributions by prestigious art critics and a wealth of images published here for the
first time.
Born in Bihar, one of the most important centers of Buddhist teaching, Gupta now
lives in New Delhi. His move from the country to the city is an allegory of modern
India, where the rural dimension of the village is rapidly bending to the influence of
cosmopolitan culture.
The artist’s monumental sculptures and installations, created by assembling hundreds
of sparkling stainless-steel utensils, reflect the ‘short-circuit’ currently taking place
between archaic and modern culture, between traditions and change.
On the one hand, the monograph, which has two main sections, examines the career
of the artist through an exploration of his work, from his earliest works up to the
present day, and it focuses on the exhibition entitled “There is always cinema”, created
by Subodh in the former cinema of San Gimignano, which resulted in a series of works
presented by Galleria Continua.
The book concludes with criticisms by the famed French critic Nicolas Bourriaud and
Italian Elio Grazioli, and an extensive photographic content, most of which is published
here for the first time, with examples of the artist’s extraordinary creations, made
using various everyday utensils and pots and pans.

dritto rovescio
A carousel of iconic images builds up a story which, on the one
hand, illustrates the unusual activity and profound nature of what
Alberto Alessi defines as “Italian Design Factories”, which move
along a line oscillating between functional value, sign-value and
poetic value of the objects produced and, on the other, tries to
describe the great ability and skill of these “research laboratories”
to also attract foreign designers, who decide to stay and work in
12
Italy having recognized the excellence of Italian design.
The layout of the exhibition oscillates between two poles: on the
one hand, in-depth precise theoretical thought based on the
curator of the exhibitions reflections on this topic in recent years,
and, on the other, a poetic, artistic and fairy-tale-like treatment
linked to the imaginary worlds of Lewis Carroll and Antoine de
Saint-Exupéry.

EXHIBITION
November 30th 2011 - February 26th 2012
The exhibition is the result of a wide-ranging research project
begun in the fall of 2010, which identifies “virtuous deeds” in the
sphere of transforming landscape and towns, and in the field of
experimenting with innovative strategies for recycling alreadyexisting buildings. The research was conducted through projects,
practical experience and programs of an experimental nature
with a tendency towards innovation, also from the point of view of
expression, a vital pre-requisite for an institution like the MAXXI
which is so deeply involved in contemporary art and architecture.
The exhibition is divided into two large areas. The first is
14
organized into four specific sections: landscape, city, housing and
architecture, and looks at projects, data and experience in Italy
and abroad. The second examines experiences which consolidate
the idea of creativeness associated with the re-cycling culture.
Through these areas and the sustainability ethic, the aim is to seek
and promote the search for “sustainability aesthetics”.
Concurrent with the “Re-cycle” exhibition, a photographic section
examines some of the aspects of the main theme of the exhibition
through the work of contemporary photographers from Italy and
elsewhere.
The catalogue brings together the entire contemporary art
collection, of works both on display and in store, acquired by
the National Gallery of Modern Art (GNAM) and the National
Gallery of 21st-century art (MAXXI). The time-span examined in
the catalogue ranges from 1958 to 2008, the last 50 years being
the period defined by the law protecting contemporary art. The
catalogue, published in two volumes, has been conceived as an
alphabetical list of artists’ names with an analytical index for the
purposes of research.
A final section is devoted to works which, due to their specific
characteristics (for example, books by artists), or because of
their origin or the way in which they were acquired (for example
ships’ furnishings), demanded treatment which reflected these
differences.
The aim of the catalogue is to present the works so that they can
be easily consulted, in a format of scientific charts and individual
color reproductions of each work, covering the more than 1,350
works of contemporary art in Italy’s national collections.

GIACINTO CERONE
1957 - 2004
This is the first time that Baruchello has opted to publish a book
that describes his long and creative artistic career over almost
seven decades. It is prefaced by two contributions by Achille
Bonito Oliva, the art critic, and Carla Subrizi, the Foundation’s
artistic director.
The various sections, each one of which focuses on a phase of
research, are introduced by a new text and a selection of earlier
writings by the artist himself, some of which have already been
published but which can no longer be found on the market.
The illustrations cover far more ground than the works displayed in
the exhibition and include many photographs taken by Claudio Abate.
Finally, the book contains exhaustive documentation (technical
data, photograms and synopses) of the films and other video
productions made by the artist from 1963 to the present day, as
well as a catalogue of the works featuring in the exhibition.
An English translation of the text is to be found at the end of the book.

The nucleus of 200 unpublished works, all exhibited for the first time in Rome, consists
of small paintings on paper executed in the 1940s, found decades later at the ‘Archivio
del Cavallino’.
The catalogue of the exhibition looks at Zavattini’s relationship with collector and
gallery-owner Cardazzo, whose Venetian salon was a sort of intellectual meeting-place
for Italian avant-garde artists and writers of that time, including Zavattini.
In 1943, year of the first Cavallino Prize, the artist was one of the promoters of the ‘Gioco
del Paradiso’ (Paradise Game) exhibition, which included drawings and paintings by
Italian writers, including Dino Buzzati, Antonio Delfini, Eugenio Montale and Leonardo
Sinisgalli. Zavattini won first prize, thus establishing a lasting contract with Cardazzo.
The catalogue reveals the across-the-board skill of Zavattini who, in terms of vocation
and character, was equally gifted in the media of literature, journalism, painting and,
especially, narrative. This unusual side of “Zavattini in color” is certainly less wellknown than the ‘black and white’ version we know from his films, but just as rich in
imagination, still able to tell stories, describe figures and surprise us, even today.

Giandomenico Romanelli, a member of the new scientific committee of Punta della
Dogana, has curated this book which traces the functional history (as a trading center)
and the iconographic role (in paintings from the 18th century to the present day) of the
building which housed the Dogana da Màr (the customs house for goods arriving by
sea) of the Most Serene Republic of Venice. Romanelli, Paola Rossi and J.-C. Hoquet
tell the story of the building right up to the moment when Tadao Ando stepped in. His
aim was to make Punta della Dogana the third contemporary art venue in Venice, after
the Peggy Guggenheim and Palazzo Grassi.
Designed in the 17th century by Giuseppe Benoni, the building consists of eight bays with
a tower at the tip. On the top of the tower is a large gilt bronze sphere representing the
globe, shouldered by two kneeling Atlas figures, with a statue of Fortune on the very top.
This wedge-shaped building between the Grand Canal and the Canale della Giudecca,
overlooking the Bacino San Marco, commands one of the finest views in Venice.
EXHIBITION
April 10th 2011 - December 31th 2012
The “Elogio del Dubbio” exhibition curated by Caroline Bourgeois
opens on 10 April 2011 at the Punta della Dogana, the old
Dogana da Mar at the mouth of the Grand Canal, a symbol of
the city of Venice. It is a collection of old works and new ones by
artists exploring “anxiety, the questioning of certainties in terms
of identity and the relationship between the inner, personal
dimension and that of the work.”

Il futuro del Futurismo aims, through the 150 works displayed, to deal with the
influences that Futurism - the most important historic avant-garde movement in
Italy - had on developments in the visual art of the twentieth century up as far as
the most recent contemporary research; it provides a themed exhibition itinerary
that relates together the languages that found their theoretic and poetic basis in
the manifestations of this movement, and the most innovative artistic studies of the
twentieth century.From the works of the historic exponents of futurism - such as
Boccioni, Balla, Carrà, Russolo, Severini, and Depero, true benchmarks in the history of
art in the way they interpreted revolutionary concepts such as simultaneousness, the
aesthetic value of technological innovation, and the fascination of a future that could
not yet be tested - the exhibition moves on to artistic research for which the radicalism
of the Futurist avant-garde opened the way: from Abstract art to Constructivism, from
Kinetic art to the Neo-Avant-garde of the Sixties and Seventies, and up as far as some
of the protagonists of contemporary art. It is an itinerary, then, that is constructed of
comparisons, analogies and differences.
The Museo del 900 is based on the best points of the city’s existing civic collections,
and display works of Futurism, Spatialism, Arte Povera and the greatest artists of the
century, including Boccioni, Carrà, Soffici, de Chirico, Sironi, Martini, Morandi, Fontana,
Manzoni, Kounellis and many others.
The 350 works on display are catalogued into 26 thematic sections on permanent
display. These include: Il Quarto Stato by Pelizza da Volpedo, also visible from outside
the museum – the Trittico Stati d’animo and the sculpture Forme uniche di continuità
nello spazio by Boccioni, the Venere del Porto and The Futurist Self-Portrait by Sironi,
and Fontana’s neon structure, lit up and visible day and night from Piazza Duomo.
The museum is designed by Italo Rota.

The first Italian retrospective after his recent demise, the exhibition covers in detail
work done in the Seventies during his travels in India, Israel, Egypt and Italy, which
generated the wonderful series Cardboard, Hoarfrost, Early Egyptian, Venetian,
Pyramid and Jammer period, all present in the exhibition.
Each work is elaborated with the technique of assemblage, using common objects or
pieces of reclaimed objects and immersed in an artistic dimension according to the
Dada concept of the ready-made; a meeting point between art and life and painting
and collage.
The richly illustrated catalogue includes previously unpublished interviews from his
travel companions, and fellow artists, Brice Marden and Mayo Thompson, as well
as heartfelt reminiscences from Branden Joseph and Mirta d’Argenzio. With this
important exhibition, the MADRE museum in Naples confirms its role as a centre of
excellence for Contemporary Art in Italy.

In the landmark series devoted to general and theme catalogues about famous artists,
the first volume of the series covering the complete works of Alighiero Boetti examines
his creations from 1962-1971. A master of construction and invention, Alighiero Boetti
has spent his whole life conducting complex research into a variety of themes. This first
volume catalogues his works between 1962 and 1971, a crucial period of in-depth research.
The generative principles which make his soul vibrate, like order and chaos, randomness
and necessity, seeking and finding, the equal and the different, are developed in his work
through materials and procedures which are simple “but of extraordinary esthetic clarity”.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti’s first manifesto was a violent explosion into an Italy
that was still immersed in the legacy of late-Romantic, 19th-century culture.
Speed, dynamism, action, modernity, together with a disdain for tradition and
conventionality were the values behind the shout of the Futurist movement, which
called for the renewal of Italian society. The weapon they used for their fight was
a special kind of manifesto, to which the exhibition and the catalogue Futurismo
Manifesto 100x100, curated by Achille Bonito Oliva, are dedicated. The authors
of the interesting contributions to the catalogue come from different walks of life.
Along with the curator, the many-faceted and multi-talented Achille Bonito Oliva,
they include historian Lucio Villari, musician-cum-artist Daniele Lombardi,
art historian Alessandro Masi, video artist Vincenzo Capalbo and art historian and
curator Francesca Barbi, who is also the grand-daughter of Martinetti.

EXHIBITION
Rome, Palazzo Sciarra
October 25th 2011 - February 12nd 2012
Curated by Maria Grazia Bernardini and Marco Bussagli, the
exhibition is organized into seven sections, which document the
artistic development of the 16th century, through the transition from
the superb and masterly skills of Early Renaissance art, which was
still based on Humanist culture, to a new style of art that was strongly
influenced by a new and all-encompassing religious fervour.
Masterpieces on display include works by Raphael, such as his
Self-portrait and Portrait of Tommaso Fedra Inghirami both on
loan, under exceptional circumstances, from the Uffizi Gallery
in Florence by Michelangelo, such as the David or Apollo,
from the Bargello National Museum, and the Pietà for Vittoria
Colonna, from Boston restored thanks to the Fondazione Roma
by Sebastiano del Piombo, such as the Portrait of a Woman, on
loan from Harewood House near Leeds, and many other artists,
including Perin del Vaga and Francesco Salviati.
The exhibition also includes revolutionary new educational
aids, such as the 3-D reconstructions of the Sistine Chapel and
Raphael’s Loggia of Psyche.

This book on Giò Ponti illustrates with over 750 images, mostly in colour, nearly all the
architect-designer’s work in this specific field over fifty years of activity from 1920 to 1970.
From his university studies to his first efforts in graphic design and the ceramics industry,
the first Monza Biennale and his appointment as editor-in-chief of <i>Domus</i>, from his
many contributions in the field of industry to stage set and costume design, his hallmark
is unmistakable and his extraordinary contribution to the recovery and success of Italian
industry after the two world wars and the subsequent periods of crisis takes shape.
His major importance in the field of design worldwide can be seen from the fact that many
of his creations, that are extensively documented in this book, are still being produced,
while others are periodically relaunched by the major manufacturers of design objects.

An authentic guide to Italian craft skills compiled by Fendi, a name
that has always been synonymous with in-depth research and
‘good works’ made by hand. Although the structure of the book
may seem rigid, arranged by headword, the content actually
allows the reader to make numerous associations which are
intellectually stimulating, without ever compromising its userfriendliness or visual impact.
For each item, for each headword, the pages list the names
of craftsmen, where they are to be found and their particular
specialty.
So, not a register, but a book about what is happening’ in the wideranging contemporary discussion about objects ‘made by hand’.
Describing ‘hand-made’ objects means talking about us and
where we come from, but, more particularly, it means describing a
way of working which is also a way of being Italian, with our culture
of savoir-faire.

A tracking shot on the works of an architect who knows how to play on the sensitivity
of his audience. Emotional crisis, taught nerves and hence a predisposition to perceive
in a much more complex way than normal. These, Rota admits, are the emotions
which he hopes to provoke in spectators who visit his projects. Installations that can
emotionally shock people and raise their levels of sensitivity. And, to achieve this, he
uses color made of light, transparencies, screens and projections (never material,
painted color), an exceptional tool and, to him, vital for conveying detailed messages in
the best possible way, because of the processes it stimulates in the brain. Increasingly
working in the sphere of magic rather than the sphere of the useful, Italian Italo
Rota’s flair for design, working abroad and communicating at an international level is
described in this unique publication. The book also considers
the playful side of the projects he has undertaken, creating games for adults with just a
touch of magic, fun and sophistication.

The extraordinary photographic content, testimonials from celebrities such as Isabella
Rossellini and Kate Hudson and the curatorship of the celebrated french art director
Fabien Baron make this book the perfect way to celebrate the 20th birthday of the men’s
fashion collections designed by Italy’s most famous designer duo. In 1990, the first fashion
show for men’s wear imposed such a revolutionary way of restyling men’s suits that, in
1991, it won the Woolmark Prize for being the most innovative collection of the year. In
2010, with their June fashion shows, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana celebrated
20 years passed since that first, successful step into the world of “pour homme”. Since
then, not only great Hollywood stars have flaunted the famous shelf bras, lace underwear
and shirts of the Italian duo, but actors and singers like Dustin Hoffman and Bono also
wear their garments, both at gala events and in their free time. Behind the many splendid
images and contributions from authoritative voices in the sector, the book tells the story of
the men’s fashion house of Dolce & Gabbana. It describes the most important milestones
and remembers the fashion shows and the advertising campaigns, with exceptional
testimonials from people from Gattuso to Matthew McConaughey.
This book takes an in-depth look at the glamorous fashion from the famous duo, from the
impeccable cut to that painstaking attention to detail that is so characteristic of Italian fashion.
A unique journey highlighting the details and work behind the finished product. A
Dolce&Gabbana garment is built up layer by layer, from the first cut to the last, careful fold.
The cloth is modelled and cut to perfection, as if it were a sculpture.
Every hidden stitched is hand-sewn, one after the other, until the suit fits like a glove.
The final aim is perfection, which is why each suit is entirely handmade. The photo shoot
commissioned solely for this volume is by Gian Paolo Barbieri, one of the most authoritative
Italian photographers on an international level.
The shoot features the well-known model Adam Senn, who has also starred in some of
MTV’s most popular reality shows.

A monumental volume celebrating two decades of success, which looks back over
Dolce&Gabbana’s forty menswear fashion shows held over the last 20 years. Photos
from behind the scenes, details of the clothes themselves and shots of the cat-walk:
an anthology of the style that has transformed this brand into an icon of fashion Made
in Italy. Dolce and Gabbana have played on their Sicilian origins and inherent sensuality
that have become their trademark to imagine a range of men: from the traditional
Sicilian in his beret and vest, with his gold crucifix hanging from a chain around his neck,
to the macho with rippling abs under his shirt and double-breasted jacket and their more
glamorous, chic playboy of latter years embodied by the statuesque David Gandy.

Breathtaking, provocative and daringly glittery: a new book on Dolce & Gabbana with
photos by the celebrated Viennese photographer Guenter Parth. The relationship between
fashion and photography has always been an inspiring and fruitful one. The ideas and
innovation of fashion design have generated an extraordinary creative output that have
made fashion photography one of the most seductive and influential languages of our time.
In 1982 when Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana decided to create their own line they
enjoyed immediate success, a success that has never wavered. This talented duo soon won
over the world’s stars, taking the name of Italian fashion right to the top. Dolce & Gabbana is
now one of the leading international groups in the clothing and luxury goods sector.

The year of the dolce vita in Naples seen through the magnificent, and previously
unpublished, photographs, papers and contemporary accounts of the kings’ ball.
Crowned heads from all over Europe and stars of the calibre of Maria Callas in one of the
most widely talked about events of the time. A veritable feast of costumes, anecdotes,
glimpses behind the scene and curiosities
The volume reconstructs the famous ball held at Palazzo Serra di Cassano in Naples in
September 1960 to celebrate the Rome Olympic Games. An extraordinary affresco of
the Dolce Vita in Naples recreated through the memories of some of the protagonists. A
collection of extraordinary photographs, many of them previously unpublished, bring the
landmark 18th century Palazzo Serra di Cassano and the famous ball to life, accompanied
by a plethora of newspaper cuttings and contemporary documents. This was the Italy
of the economic boom and Naples was both a well-known stage for the famous and the
beautiful and the backdrop to meetings between the people destined to govern Europe.
The book, commissioned by Acqua di Parma, is a tribute to the
Italian-style garden, part of Italy’s historic heritage.
A formal structure and the ‘soul of the place’ are the main
components of the garden of the Renaissance villa, a source of
inspiration for the most authoritative architects and perfumemanufacturers on an international scale. A result achieved thanks
to establishing the right equilibrium between rational accuracy and
creative flair. The book has been curated by Lucia Valerio, the wellknown journalist, head of the gardening section of the magazine
Photography & Performing arts
VilleGiardini. One of Italy’s most authoritative garden designers,
architect Paolo Pejrone, dedicates his section of the book to the
irises, magnolias and jasmines which inspired Acqua di Parma’s “Le
Nobili” line of perfumes for women. Meanwhile, Francois Demachy
writes about the same flowers from the point of view of making
perfume. The gardens are shown at their best, in various seasons,
with vast expanses of flowers and stunning colors. This book is a
valuable source-book for those who wish to learn more about the
Italian-style garden and its relationship with the world of perfumery.

Accompanied by fascinating images - stills, photographs, stage sets - the book
enshrines the images evoked by the composer for some of the greatest masterpieces
and directors of the twentieth century, from Pasolini to Pontecorvo, Petri, De Palma,
Polanski and Tornatore. The volume also contains a number of the master’s “cultivated”
compositions and testimony to his work which supplements the portraits: three
conversations about music, backed up with images by Gianni Berengo Gardin, and the
preface by Giuseppe Tornatore. The book comes with a CD with 17 music tracks.
Italy’s leading living set designer, Dante Ferretti, has an impressive
career behind him. Having received six Oscar nominations, he
was awarded the coveted prize for the first time in 2005 for
the film made with Martin Scorsese, The Aviator, and again in
2008 with Tim Burton’s film Sweeney Todd: a consecration
at an international level that placed the seal on a career full of
distinguished achievements.
The aim of this new edition, smaller-size edition, with updated and
expanded content, is to trace Ferretti’s artistic career, which began
in Italy in the 1960s.
His career led him to work with the greatest film directors, from
Pasolini to Fellini, with whom he created close professional ties.
The book includes Ferretti’s most recent works, for example a
preview of Shutter Island, Martin Scorsese’s latest film withLeonardo
Di Caprio, due for release in the U.S.A. this autumn, and Brian De
Palma’s The Black Dahlia, featuring the neo-star Scarlett Johansson.

A book which is alive with the burning passion Visconti brought to his work in films, a
homage to one of Italy’s most famous directors. His artistic career is illustrated by a
wealth of photographs, documents and numerous previously unpublished writings.
Starting with Obsession (1942), and winding up with The Innocent (1976), Visconti
traces the development of Italian Neo-realism, studded with unforgettable
masterpieces like The Earth Trembles, Death in Venice and Ludwig II.
In his long and prolific career Visconti also played an important role as a theatre
director: his productions are considered one of the high points in Italian theatre,
especially those for the Scala in Milan, starring a superb Maria Callas.
A whole section is dedicated to the stars who contributed to making Visconti’s works
such a success and those who owed him fame and fortune: Anna Magnani, Alain
Delon, Romy Schneider, Claudia Cardinale, Helmut Berger, and Charlotte Rampling.

“The church has become a spectacle of great beauty that is almost overwhelming
for those who stand looking at it and almost unbelievable to people who only hear
it described It is a true hymn to the most indescribable kind of beauty”: these are
the words of Procopius of Caesarea, written about 20 years after the consecration
of Santa Sofia in 537 AD. Today, Santa Sofia, dedicated to the Divine Wisdom,
survives only as a museum, dramatically impoverished by the loss of all its Christian
furnishings. Despite this, much of the original building and atmosphere, “a profusion
of natural light and glimmering reflections a radiance generated by the very interior”
according to our source, still succeeds in imposing itself as the finest expression of
the Christian East, and as one of the greatest masterpieces of all time, in terms of
architectural and structural ideas.
The book’s aim is to explain how Justinian’s architects succeeded in creating a work
that was quite without precedent, in this place that was colonized in the 7th century
BC by the Greeks, and later became Constantinople, the new capital of the Roman
Eastern Empire. A marvellous building, with an incredibly large interior, mighty
supports and structures and very striking mosaic decoration, a building that has never
failed to arouse excitement and wonder in the people who visit it.
The history of architecture in images. In this first book the Italy of the fourhundred
fivehundred and sixhundred. Pictures in duotono reproduced in large format document the
major architectures that have made and make the history of our country. The collection,
directed by Francesco Dal Co, proposes a synthesis book , a photographic atlas able to build
a run through excellent architectures that embody the italian architecture character from
fourhundred to sixhundred and they represent the stylistic evolution. A run in images going
through Bramante, Francesco Di Giorgio, Giuliano da Sangallo, Brunelleschi, Leon Battista
Alberti, Sanmicheli, Palladio, Borromini, Maderno, Pietro da Cortona, Scamozzi, Guarino
Guarini, Andrea Pozzo, Carlo Fontana. The book is structured in three big parts, each of
them dedicated to a century and introduced by a brief historical text and it closes with a rich
apparat of essential bibliographies and of biographies of artists.

The renewed interest of contemporary architectural culture in rational architecture
is highlighted by the increasing number of publications analyzing this expressive
phenomenon. Max Dudler’s work is both a symbol and a renewal of this unusual way
of interpreting architecture in modern cities. An important cultural figure in Berlin,
where he lives and works, he collaborates not only with studios in Berlin but also in
Frankfurt-am-Main and Zurich. In addition to his professional work, he has a busy
teaching schedule at the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf. The book examines his original
approach to composition, developed over more than 30 years of intensive activity,
by publishing more than 500 of his projects, many of which are shown here for the
first time. The architect’s daily creative grind, tackled in an extremely consistent way
and with great inventive freedom, is shown through original drawings and sketches,
collected here for the first time in a single volume for easy consultation. The book
comes with a complete list of works and a bibliography. Furthermore, the book
contains critical articles by Francesco Dal Co, Werner Oechslin, Vittorio Magnago
Lampugnani, Annalisa Trentin and Francesco Saverio Fera.

Tomaso Buzzi (Sondrio 1900 - Rapallo 1981) was undoubtedly one of the outstanding
characters in the history of 20th century architecture. After 1945
he became an arbiter of taste, working for some of Italy’s most illustrious dynasties
from the noble and industrial circles, interpreting lifestyles and leading the vanguard
of fashionable society. Buzzi graduated from Milan University in 1923.
He subsequently joined the “Novecento Milanese” group that Gio Ponti, Emilio Lancia
and other well-known names belonged to. The symbiotic relationship with the Italian
aristocracy that was to last a lifetime was launched in 1931, when he carried out works
on the Villa Vittoria belonging to the Contini Bonacossi family.
His abandonment of modern themes from the mid-1930s onwards and his links with an
elite clientele marks his divorce from the mainstream of the architectural establishment
and the start of his damnatio memoriae which has lasted until the present day. 1956
marked his most eccentric work, the Scarzuola, with the purchase of a 13th century
church and Franciscan monastery near Montegabbione (Montegiove, Terni).

A monographic exhibition on the work of Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus, undisputed
stars of the Portuguese architectural scene. The exploration of the Mateus brothers
focuses principally on single-family homes and is translated into highly refined and
skilled results, which share the clear recognisability that distinguishes all their designs.
The lightness achieved by sculpting the matter with simple expedients and close bond
between concept and construction are the fruit of a meticulous exploration of the options
offered by the excavation of matter. The investigation of the two designers is governed
by their remarkable ability to annul the weight of the mass, overcoming gravity, and their
choice of manners of expression that are far removed from the formal excesses that
distinguish contemporary architectural languages. Their most important works include
a house in Alenquer (1998- 2000), a house in Brejos de Azeitão (1999-2000), Barriera
Antunes House (2000-03), the Sines Art Centre (2001-05), the Santa Marta Lighthouse
and Museum in Cascais (2003-07), a house in Comporta (2009-10), the Furnas
Research Centre (2010) and a house in Lieira (2010).

The monograph focuses on the projects recently executed by the engineering studio
Conzett Bronzini Gartmann in conjunction with Switzerland’s top architects.
The aim of the publication is to explore the cultural conditions and ways of thinking which
have resulted in some extremely fine architectural, executive and structural achievements.
The analysis of the most important projects of the Conzett Bronzini Gartmann studio
constitutes an opportunity to appreciate the unusual rapport that has been established
in Switzerland between thinking on form and structural considerations. The introduction
emphasizes the disciplinary aspects and questions that make the studio’s work so
interesting: the architectural and structural quality of the projects; the many different
languages, contexts and scales involved, providing a broad overview of architectural output
in Switzerland today; the different levels of collaboration, involving three generations of
architects – the most senior generation, including Peter Zumthor, the middle generation,
with Valerio Olgiati, and the new generation of emerging young architects – and, finally,
the rapport between the local context and the studio’s dealings on a national scale. Two
interviews with Peter Zumthor and Jürg Conzett, complete the volume.

Carlo Mollino (1905-1973) was a key figure in the eccentric élite of artistic and cultural
circles in Turin. He was not only interested in architecture, but also in aviation, design and
fashion and his research extended to the cinema, screenplay, literature and, above all,
mountains. In the 1930s, this last interest became a passion which ead him to publish
a book in 1950, entitled Introduzione al discesismo. When it was first published, it was
received rather like a ‘fairy story’, a story about humans and their dream of defying
Nature. The book, which can be regarded as one of the first true skiing manuals, is now
being reprinted in its original format. For Mollino Alpine skiing was the expression of a
profound metaphor: “Launching the skier so that he can find himself”.
The architect set himself this task and, at the same time, by controlling and regulating
it in various ways, created the downhill style. The mechanics of the physical process,
the effort made by the various parts of the body involved, tips on how to move
harmoniously, flowing trajectories marked on paper and on snow, and slender figures
skiing on silvery slopes immortalized in extraordinary black and white photographs are
the things that distinguish the chapters of this book, together with numerous drawings
by Mollino describing parabolas and changes of direction.

This book reviews 18 wineries built in several countries between 2007 and today.
Francesca Chiorino’s introductory essay examines the relationship between the wineries
and the environment and the architects’ ability to decipher and render the characteristics
of the terroir, intended as all the cultural, environmental, geological and morphological
qualities peculiar to the site. An essay by Carlo Tosco confirms the idea that exploration
of the territory is core to the architectural design process for wineries. Awareness is
currently being raised in a practice that spans ecology, landscape management and
even architecture, often with exceptional results and in which wineries become hugely
important parts of a far broader process of general territorial rediscovery. Most of the
designs reviewed are in Europe and America and the illustrations and accompanying texts
focus on how the buildings are inserted into the landscape. The architects examined are
Álvaro Siza Vieira, Perraudin architectes, RCR arquitectes, Bearth & Deplazes, Andreas
Burghardt, Werner Tscholl, Francisco Izquierdo, Sebastian Mariscal Studio, Richard Rogers,
Gerd Bergmeister, Tobia Scarpa, Norman Foster, Estudio Nómada, Jean Nouvel, VF
