Carlo Scarpa

Carlo Scarpa (Venice, 1906 – Sendai, Japan, 1978) was one of the most important Italian architects and designers of the 20th century, known for his extraordinary ability to blend modernity and tradition, humble and precious materials, art and architecture.
He lived most of his life in Venice, where he developed a unique architectural language characterized by refined details, a masterful use of light, and great attention to the historical and cultural context.
Among his most famous works are the restoration and display of the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, the Brion Tomb in San Vito d’Altivole, and numerous museum interventions and displays both in Italy and abroad.
Throughout his career, Scarpa experimented with various materials, including glass, wood, metal, and stone, creating unique and surprising combinations.
Although he did not graduate in architecture by personal choice, he was deeply respected by both the academic and professional world.
