I feel guilty writing this at a Scarpa Doge table but I respectfully disagree.
Scarpa is undoubtedly a singular architectural artist in his realm of Byzantine Gestalt, but nowhere as atoned to urban context and the human body and not nearly as rigorous and sensual in his plastic Formgivning as Caccia. Which for me, professionally speaking, carries more weight.
Scarpas chairs are nearly as brute as those of FLW, not even in the same ballpark as Caccia.
Extra points to Luigi for not being a sexist cunt waxing poetic about curvy women.
Anyone nowadays still considering a Gaetano Pesce UP6 needs a thorough caning and be sent to horny jail.
