Luigi Vietti è uno degli architetti che l’Aga Khan chiama, sin dall’inizio, per il grande progetto della Costa Smeralda. La sua opera si caratterizza per alcuni temi che sembrano legati ai suoi primi studi e lavori nei centri liguri di costa. Quella non solo era stata un’occasione fondamentale della sua crescita professionale, ma era anche l’esperienza più simile all’avventura che si accingeva a compiere: in Liguria studierà i nuclei urbani di costa e l’architettura mediterranea colorata. Se per l’opera di Vietti in Costa Smeralda si può parlare di una tarda applicazione dell’ambientismo – la lezione che aveva appreso da Giovannoni alla scuola di architettura di Roma – bisogna riconoscere che egli si trovò nella condizione di “ambientare” architetture in un luogo dove il contesto, almeno quello costruito, non esisteva. Tra le sue prime, e più importanti opere, in Costa Smeralda, ci sono l’Hotel Pitrizza, l’Hotel Cervo e villa La Cerva, tutte costruite nei primi anni ’60.

Abstract
Luigi Vietti is one of the architects that the Aga Khan calls, from the beginning, for the great project of the Costa Smeralda. His work features a number of themes which all appear to be connected to his initial study and work on Liguria’s coastal villages. That had in fact proven not merely to be a fundamentally important experience in his professional development, but was also the most akin one to the adventure he was about to embark on: in Liguria he will study urban coastal settlements and colorful Mediterranean architecture. If Vietti’s work on the Costa Smeralda can be spoken about in terms of a late implementing of environmentalism - the lesson he had learned from Giovannoni at the Rome school of architecture - it should be said that he found himself in situations of blending his architecture in the environment in a place where the built context did not exist. Among his first and most important works on the Costa Smeralda, there are Hotel Pitrizza, Hotel Cervo and villa La Cerva, all built in the early 1960s.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
