MINIMALIST IMPRESSIONS OF AN ITALIAN VILLAGE

Porto Maurizio, Imperia, Liguria.

A typical Ligurian village that fascinates for the multiple minimalist insights it may offer. The clean and rational lines of its neoclassic Dome and its lodges strike for their beauty while its cracks and peelings cannot but increase the fascination for such an authentic place, which speaks so well of the passage of time.

One immediately perceives a series of simple elements such as clear architectural lines as clear symbols of the exquisite attempt to rationalize life and to impress pure, classical beauty forever. The cracks and peelings speaks at the same time of the immense power of time and human fragility.

This project believes in minimalism as a perfect process of starting from reality to abstract and reflect on universal themes such as time, a rationalist thrust and a specific aesthetic vision of the world.
