Verified profile


Drawings, photographs, documents, publications testify to the extraordinary twenty years of collaboration between Carlo Scarpa and Olivetti.

Between 1956 and 1978, the Scarpa / Olivetti partnership saw the birth of exceptional projects such as the shop in Piazza San Marco, the colony of Brusson and exhibitions for British Olivetti.

Carlo Scarpa's relationship with the entrepreneur from Ivrea and more generally with the "Olivetti world", originates and is consolidated within the variegated Olivetti "community": the various opportunities for contact between the two are part of a wider and more multifaceted network of direct and indirect relationships with figures linked to art, politics, university and culture in general. The result is an atypical client relationship in which we discover an unexpected sharing of values, themes and events that have marked the Italian architectural culture in the twentieth century.
