Abstract

During the course of the research related to the study of the design and construction problems of posthumous building attributed to the most important designer of the XXth century, it has been examined in depth the buildings attributed to G. Michelucci and realized after his death. In this context, it has been found the completely unpublished archive of the architect Bruno Sacchi, a close Michelucci’s collaborator, for more than 20 years, that completed many of his building after his death. This archive has been in part listed and computerized. During this work it has been individuated a big residential building realized in Prato, near to Florence, named Villa Cambi, that, at this moment, is not present in the list of building attributed to Michelucci. Due to the presence many typical invariants of the Michelucci’s design, it has been decided to examine in depth this building, through an analysis of the document deposited at the Municipality Archive of Prato. Here it has been found a project of the house signed by G. Michelucci as well as B. Sacchi. The analysis of the building, concluded in 1994, 4 year after Michelucci’s death, underlines the many analogies between the project signed by Michelucci and the house effectively realized by Sacchi, making it an unknown building of Michelucci.
