ADRIATIC ARCHITECTURE:

Manuel Orazi’s Book on Architect Giovanni Vaccarini

Perhaps inspired by Mediterranean Breviary by Predrag Matvejević, Manuel Orazi tells the story of the Adriatic mosaic in which Vaccarini works, weaving connections that include cinema, art, music, literature, and the biographies of international architects with Abruzzese roots, such as Robert Venturi.
