Villa Malaparte

Monuments and Museum

In addition to Villa San Michele another house that arouses interest without a doubt is Casa come me, better known as Casa Malaparte. It is a house a bit ‘out of the box and certainly does not represent the classic architecture caprese characterized by pergolas and vaults.

You will admire, Via Mare With A Gozzo Or Via Terra Along Via Pizzolungo, A Red House With A Angular Shape, Essential And Rational, But Well Inserted In The Landscape, Built On A Rocky Promontory, With Access From A Narrow Road.

It is considered one of the masterpieces of modern architecture and one of its main features is to have a huge staircase that allows you to climb on the roof and from there enjoy the incredible view.

In 1936 the writer Curzio Malaparte arrived on the island and was fascinated by this wild promontory.

He bought the land and initially entrusted the construction project to Adalberto Libera, one of the greatest exponents of rational architecture. This place has also been appreciated by directors in fact, an epic scene is with Brigitte Bardot protagonist of the film The contempt. Unfortunately the villa is not visitable, currently the property is of the Ronchi Foundation.
