Casa Malaparte in Capri, Italy


I recently discovered this book in a personal library, and it was a must have for my own.  It is inspiring and Malaparte's design reflects my own ideas for a project that I am working on.  This is more than a book on architecture.  It is about the man and his house.  Curzio Malaparte was an Italian writer and many other things.  Casa Malaparte was completed in the early forties.  It has been in films, photoshoots, and host to many events over the years.  It was in near ruin, until it's recent restoration.  I found a copy of the book on amazon.com, the book is no longer in print.
