Walking
along the Park alleys, immersed in the melted and unripe beauty of
the Lombardy country-side, accompanied by the submerged sonorities
of the water that runs all around me, I think of the perfect balance
that has been realised in the Grifone Park.
As in a well written
scene arrangement, every element gets harmonically insert in a more
general drawing here. I remember calvino's words and his american
lessons.
Lightness, quickness,
exactness, visibility, multiplicity. Five universal values to take
in the new millenary, five fundamental ingredients to build a work
of art.

I
enjoy myself searching in the Grifone Park a realization of
these values and I am not surprised certifying that somehow
they are all present.
First
of all lightness, the art of subtraction. In a variety of
the activities in the richness of the programs and in the
vastness of the architectonic project, that is a common
stile that governs the Grifone park, a sobriety that talks
of lightness.
Here
everything is essential, dry, airy.
Here
there is a lot of space and while the mind rests, the eye runs fast.
Then
the rapidity, the art of surprise.
What
impresses in this park is exactly the rapidity of passages,
the variety of the activity.
From
tennis to swimming, from gardening to horse-riding, every
corner of this extraordinary place presents something to do.
|
Even
doing nothing that maybe the sweetest thing to do.
The
exactness, the art of precision. In the Grifone Park nothing is
casual.
A
careful direction has organised the spaces and the activities in a
perfect way.
How
Musly says in "A perfect man without quality", there are
problems that don't accept just a solution, but many single
solutions that combined get near to the general one.
Grifone
Park is exactly this, a wonderful picture which total beauty born
directly from the beauty of each stroke of the brush that compose
it.
Visibility,
the art of the imagination.
The
Grifone Park is a simmering of images. Symbols, metaphors, visual
ideas that get materialised infront of your eyes.
Water,
soil, horses, trees, birds, flowers, food.
In
the Grifone park we can really exercise in simulating that tipically
human faculty looking with closed eyes, thinking with images.
At
last multiplicity, the art of complexity.
The
Grifone park recalls an encyclopaedic work.
The
variety and the vastness of offers recalls exactly an illuministic
encyclopaedia but re-proposed in a modern key, the open work art
one, constantly adjourned.
The
Grifone Park is a container of ideas in costant transformation.
Here
nothing is static and immutable, everything is pervaded by a
creative energy that transforms ideas in realisations, problems in
solutions
I
should go back in office, but I don't wish to.
I
go and sit under a poplar, I close my eyes and think at the quality
of life.
Dreams
that become reality, reality that becomes...ZZZZZzzzzzz...
