Combining distant things

Abstract

This article is part of the book Canzoni da Organetto, a limited private edition promoted by Kalos Cesenatico Italia printed at the end of 1992. In it Paolo Portoghesi explains “the ritual of his game”. the drawings of this roman architect, baroque expert and creator of the Strada Novissima represent possible projects, cunning prologues, even pastimes, amusements, remembrances or figurative hypotheses regarding themes dear to the author, such as the street, the square, the façade, the palazzi.
