The Scarzuola
Tomaso Buzzi's ideal city. A labyrinth, a fickle palace or a Franciscan city, La Scarzuola is this and more, it is the city designed by the Milanese architect Tomaso Buzzi and managed today by Marco Solari. A theatre city that seems to come straight out of the great pictorial works of Italian surrealism. Dedicated to St Francis, on the site where the saint had built a small hut, it is now a vast complex of buildings, theatres and gardens.
Buzzi said: prayer, in its way, can also be made of stone. Art, poetry and music, the Canticle of the Creatures transcribed in architectural terms, in which the stones speak of beauty and faith. Not a fake Franciscanism, but a triumphant hymn to creation and the creature.
