Books by Michelangelo Sabatino

Today, Italian architect and designer Carlo Mollino (1905-73) is known chiefly for his furniture designs. Based on years of research and drawing on rich archival material as well as on Mollino's own writings, this new book is the overdue tribute to an extraordinary personality in 20th-century architecture.

Pride in Modesty argues that ordinary, often anonymous, everyday things inspired and transformed Italian art and architecture from the 1920s through the 1970s.
