  • The first monograph on the multifaceted work of Vucetich, an original interpreter of the Liberty style, as well as creator of the chess game in Marostica
Full Description

This volume represents the first monograph dedicated to Mario Mirko Vucetich, an original artist of great versatility whose name, linked to great successes in life, deserves to be duly remembered still today.

Of Dalmatian origins and a Vicenza citizen by adoption, Mario Mirko Vucetich (Bologna, 1898 – Vicenza, 1975) has distinguished himself as an architect, offering a personal interpretation of the Liberty style for various buildings such as Villa Margherita at the Lido of Venice, Villa del Meloncello in Bologna , or the innovative Villa Antolini in Riccione. His artistic exuberance gave excellent proofs in the sculptural field, initially welcoming symbolist suggestions, then aligning with the poetics of the 20th century. Also dedicated to painting and drawing, he has participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale and the Rome Quadrennial. A curious and multifaceted personality, Vucetich was also a poet, translator, set designer, director and actor: one of his best known legacies is the famous Chess Game with living figures in Marostica, conceived in 1923 but redesigned by him in 1954 with a large apparatus which made it the hit show it still is today.

The volume, divided into thematic chapters, includes a rich iconographic catalog and is completed by a register of works.

Text in English and Italian.
