For almost everyone, my greatest masterpiece.
Thanks to the freedom granted to me by Paolo Almerico, in fact I was able to create a pure work, in which the magnificence of man's intellect can shine forth.
It is the perfect location, it is the perfect client, it is the perfect context, it is the perfect moment in my history as a man and as an architect: a house that is the temple of the sacred discussion of enlightened men on philosophy, theology, politics, our ancient cultural heritage and on our highest projects.
