Scope and Content
Project series comprises preparatory studies and competition drawings for a redevelopment project in the historical centre of Pontassieve, outside Florence, Italy, and particularly the area around its piazza Vittorio Emanuele. Material in this project series is dated 1996. Alessandro Poli was the project group leader, and collaborated with architect Giannantonio Vannetti, landscape architects Mariella Sgaravatti and Elena Morici, artist Hidetoshi Nagasawa, artistic heritage expert Guiliano Gori, and art historian and critic Lara Vinca Masini. It is unclear whether the project was successful. The studies and project drawings emphasize the teardrop shape of the piazza. Project materials feature sketches and painted studies, including two with cotton materials, as well as presentation drawings and collages, including a large photograph of the site.
