NO GLOBAL DESIGN: the italian connection





Prof. Morlacchi's work could not be more Roman and less globalised. After decades teaching architecture and conservation techiniques at the universities of Rome, Chieti and Pescara, Prof. Morlacchi has printed some of her painstakingly accurate surveys of the historical centre of Rome (available in various formats from approx. 50cm to 150cm wide). The problem? If you want one of these prints you'll have to write in for the address, find your way through Villa Borghese, up and down a hill and through a small gate. There you'll find her at work under overloaded shelves of drawings, sketches and prints. But you never know.... you might be able to mail her the cash (credit cards and cheques strictly out of the question).
