Since the early 1960s, photographer Guido Guidi (1941) has embarked on an ongoing journey of discovery, bringing his camera closer to the work of architect Carlo Scarpa (1906–1978), his first and most important mentor in Venice. Thanks to original photographs, enriched with handwritten notes, preserved at the Centro Internazionale di Studi di Architettura Andrea Palladio (CISA) in Vicenza, an extraordinary journey unfolds: from the Olivetti Showroom in St. Mark’s Square to the Canovian Plaster Cast Gallery in Possagno; from the Palazzo Abatellis Museum, which houses Antonello da Messina’s famous Annunciata, to the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona — one of the most admired and emulated museum installations in the world — and finally to the Brion Memorial Complex in San Vito di Altivole (TV), Carlo Scarpa’s testamentary masterpiece.
