English edition.
“Not just every home I have furnished, not just every room I have carefully decorated, but every object I have chosen and collected in the various periods of my life was always a mode of expression for me, [¿] a spiritual revelation, like one of my poems, one of my plays, any one of my political or military acts or demonstrations of faith”. Starting with the figure of Gabriele d’Annunzio and the events that led him to settle in Gardone Riviera, on the Brescia coast of Lake Garda, and to create this monumental home-museum, the guide illustrates the exteriors, the unique spaces of the Prioria and Schifamondo, the park and garden of the Prioria. Accompanied by a map of the entire complex and a plan of the Prioria, the volume also contains a section on the main artists who worked on the creation of the Vittoriale.
