The Museo di Castelvecchio was developed on the bombed ruins of the
Scaligery family's medieval castle in Verona. First commissioned to
redesign the oldest section of the building, Scarpa was later asked to
complete the museum. The work is a monument to Scarpa's sensibilties
about time and place. According to critic Nory Miller he »achieved an
extraor-dinary coexistence involving architecture of different
centuries, including this one ... without the crutches of neutral glass
linkages, uniform materials, or historical references ...« Indeed, the
symbiosis between Scarpa's work and the surviving fabric is such that
differences are hardly apparent.
