Casa Malaparte perches on the tip of a rocky Capri promontory, in the most inaccessible part of Capri. Build in the 1930s by a bricklayer and a writer of questionable politics, with absolutely no foreknowledge of architecture, save only his personal experiences and choices, is considered as a building beyond conventional time and space.

It is a house of paradoxes. Rational and untamed, modern and magical, it stands on the wild landscape as a bold red spot over reality. The unrequited stories, which fill the house, unfold at the same time different interpretations depending on the moment and the poetic theme. It follows the idea of a unity that embraces contradictions and incoherence; made it a point to avoid definition both he and his casa. Essentially, casa Malaparte figures the vision of a man with no immediately apparent influences, who wishes to construct a portrait of himself, a  tangible image of an isolated, romantic, rebellious intellectual, a living literary work. Perhaps this is the writer΄s final paradox, his most permanent memory is also the most accurate.

The research is about the design of a timeline both of Curzio Malaparte΄s life and Casa Malaparte΄s construction, focusing on the second part. A biography of a man and a house in parallel paths. Precisely because of above all it is a residence under the specific instructions of one person, only through his life journey and the current situation of each period make it possible to be analyzed and clarified to a point. Its architecture at the far-flung promontory remains eternal and by the same token the work will never really be finished. The building combine and correlate the meaning of existence with architecture, the human status with nature, the past with present time. It balances between the world of the imaginary and the real, as its owner.

Casa Malap-arte. A biography house, with the art of the creator infused inside.
