Rating: 7,7/10 (4475 votes) Villa Malaparte is a grandiose architectural monument of the XX century. The villa is located on the rock of Punto Massulo on the island of Capri. This rather low structure with reddish walls was designed for Curzio Malaparte in the 30s. The author of the project was the Roman architect Adalberto Libera. The architect's aesthetic intention more than once differed from the political views of the customer: Malaparte was a convinced fascist and the reason why he built his house on a deserted stretch of coast was a decree issued by Mussolini. During construction, Malaparte made changes to the project more than once. In 1963, the estate was used for the filming of the film Contempt. Jean-Luc Godard.
