On the site of an old Franciscan convent, Milanese architect Tommaso Buzzi bought the entire property in the 1950s and built what he thought could be the "ideal city." The result is a neo-Mannerist mishmash of references to the architecture of the past, a profusion of staircases leading to nowhere, an eschatological allegory of existence told with the hermeticism typical of 18th-century Masonic aristocracy.A Kafkaesque journey into our deepest selves.
