Language Notes:
"Carlo Scarpa was the leading architect in details of modern times and could make poetry out of the smallest rod or piece of stone.... No one with this kind of genius is left today."
- Philip Johnson, GA Document
"Typical of the author's method is the astonishing clarity with which the Castelvecchio project, Verona, is presented; an undertaking on which Scarpa worked on and off for nearly twenty years. The reader is first introduced to the general project and the outline of the castle, together with Scarpa's initial plan for its restoration and conversion to a museum, and is then led through the detailed development and progressive alterations and restorations which accompanied the initial stages of the project. There follows in logical and appropriate temporal sequence the development of the courtyard garden, the interior of the museum proper, the detailing of the access stairs and doors, the final placement of the major sculptural pieces including the key, almost mythic, equestrian Cangrande figure, which is the centerpiece of the entire complex."
