CASA MALAPARTE by Marida Talamona (Italian edition)

Cooperativa Libraria Universitaria del Politecnico, 1995, Fifth printing, 141 pp., 5 1/2" X 8 3/4", Softcover

Very good in very good- dust jacket (see photos)

This handsome book is the first in-depth examination of the Casa Malaparte. Through original correspondence, plans, and drawings, Marida Talamona uncovers written and graphic evidence attributing the house's design to the client (writer Curzio Malaparte) rather than the architect (Adalberto Libera). The book includes archival and current photographs and drawings.

This is the original Italian edition, originally published six years prior to the Edglish edition.

Quite scarce.
