«Op. cit.» magazine has been my intellectual training ground, for
that I thank Renato De Fusco affectionately remembering him. I
started to cooperate with the magazine when I newly graduated,
in awe that I was not equal to the task, because the periodic were
publishing the most important names of the culture. But the generous encouragements of my Master and his lessons about the
method to study and to write, as welling as spurring me, addressed my essays, some of them developed in my own following
publications.
Occasionally De Fusco oriented my interests to themes that were
important for him and we have drawn up together, other times he
addressed my stimuli to field like history of design and furniture
whom build the most conspicuous part of my production. That
allowed me in advance ad “officially” to introduce those disciplines in my classes as a lecturer of history of architecture, an
initiative which I am proud of especially now that history of design made a room for itself in some degree courses
