Abstract :
Massimo Locci describes the work of Sicilian architect Maria Giuseppina Grasso Cannizzo, an obstinate perfectionist with a great deal of charisma who works with functional rigour and absolute formal abstraction. He explains how, in the sensitive context of Sicilyʹs historic urban centres, Grasso Cannizzo has taken early 20th-century buildings, cleaned up the exteriors and emptied the interiors, and rigorously inserted her own rarefied pieces.
