Opis

Designed and built by Leo Salvotti, this small holiday building by the lake - renamed 'Casa Galina' by the local inhabitants for its zoomorphic shape - is the best-known building in Calceranica al Lago and represents a unique architectural experiment in Italy. Through pictures from the 1960s, drafts, and 3D reconstructions, alongside the photographic work of Luca Chiste, this book aims to enhance this building's history. Essays written by experts who insert Casa Galina into the local and Italian architectural history complement the book.
