oh Verona
*the other side of the river in verona
fri., march 17
the day began with an early day tour of two works Carlo Scarpa had done in the city. the first one was the Banco Populare, another project that reasured my thoughts about his architecture. in other words, (with the exeption of the door in the building) i again think he over did it. just too much.
the second example of scarpa - The Castelvecchio Museum- was, in my opinion, the best we've seen. i really like it. althought the art in the museum does not appeal to me much, i think scarpa handled it very well. he was in charge of remodeling the castle and designing the stands for every single peice of art. this was the first time were he did not seem exagerated in the detailing, the problem that i've been having with him so far.
after a great picnic in one of verona's public parks, we decided to pay a visit to the Giusti garden. it was amazing. i felt like i took a step back 500 hundred years. parks and gardens today should definetly be more like this renaissance marterpeice.
