Italian term or phrase: nella sua aerea scansione cromatica
E’ l’edificio che più intimamente dialoga con la terra ed il cielo, nella sua aerea scansione cromatica, nella sua miracolosa leggerezza, nell’inversione dei pieni e dei vuoti, in questo suo lasciarsi penetrare dalla luce nel traforo della parte più bassa, che si va rarefacendo fino ad incontrare la laguna e a sciogliersi in essa.
