About the Item
Villa Ravà, Biblioteca (Library)
Architectural drawing, china ink on paper
monogrammed lower right in pencil: M.P.
Titled upper left: Villa Ravà – Biblioteca
A finely detailed architectural drawing by Marcello Piacentini, one of Italy’s most influential architects and urban planners of the early 20th century. The sheet presents the opulent interior design of the Biblioteca (Library) of Villa Ravà in Rome, realized by Cesare Bazzani in 1906, showcasing Piacentini’s masterful command of neoclassical space and proportion.
Rendered with remarkable precision and elegance, the drawing depicts a richly ornamented interior — complete with a vaulted ceiling, intricate stucco decorations, and a grand staircase flanked by sculptural elements. The perspective, finely constructed through disciplined linear drafting, conveys both architectural clarity and a sense of monumental grandeur.
Executed during the height of Piacentini’s career, this drawing exemplifies his characteristic synthesis of classical heritage and modern rationality — qualities that defined his major civic and private commissions in Rome and beyond.
Condition: Light toning and marginal foxing consistent with age; fold lines visible; otherwise well preserved.
This work offers a rare glimpse into Piacentini’s design process, combining technical rigor with an aesthetic sensitivity that situates him among the foremost architects of interwar Italy.
