- [Host] La Scarzuola began as a Franciscan monastery,
-
but today, it's an architectural wonderland.
-
In the 1950s, an architect named Tomaso Buzzi
-
purchased La Scarzuola in Terni, Italy,
-
with the intention of turning it into his own ideal city.
-
Each work is carefully thought out and built
-
to represent an inner thought of Tomaso.
-
He considered this his autobiography in stone.
-
La Scarzuola was formed by seven theaters
-
representing Tomaso's notion that the ideal life
-
is symbolically theatrical.
-
Influenced by Dali and Escher, his style is a blend
-
of surrealistic architecture, and neo mannerist elements
-
which can be felt in the general unbalance
-
and disproportionate feel of the place.
-
These elements are meant to reflect Tomaso's
-
passionate belief that life is both mysterious
-
and perplexing.
-
After Tomaso passed in 1981,
-
his nephew continued to work on La Scarzuola
-
to complete his uncle's vision,
-
allowing Tomaso's ideal city to live on.
