It's difficult to imagine a design more sensitive to the site, the memory of Masieri, (and to the city of Venice itself) than Wright's "palazzino".

Angelo Masieri was a young Italian architect who died at the age of 30 in a car accident while visiting Wright. His last work:

Could it have been that Masieri would have been the architect to bring Wrightian organic architecture to Italy, had he lived?

Villa Giacomuzzi looks more like Schindler's work than Wright's. But he was good.

Wasn't he?

And only in is late twenties when he designed Villa Giacomuzzi:

I thought Schindler, too, when I saw those pics.
