Gaudí vivo
Gaudí vivo is an original biography of Antoni Gaudí that goes beyond his architectural works to explore the person who made them possible. Through the testimonies of those who knew him, Chiara Curti reconstructs his daily life, shaped by faith, manual work, and a profound observation of reality. The book portrays a close and deeply human Gaudí, committed to the workers and convinced that architecture was a form of service and praise. On the centenary of his death, this work offers a renewed perspective on the Catalan architect and the spiritual legacy that inspired his entire life.

Sagrada Familia. Cathedral of Light.
In this book, Curti guides us through the basilica hand in hand with Gaudí, on a visit that transcends its material structure and reveals the light that illuminates it on a path towards beauty — that is, towards truth. For if, as the author writes, “beauty is illuminated matter”, Gaudí reminds us that “beauty is the splendour of truth”.
And along this path, Chiara Curti reveals aspects and images of the basilica that had never before been expressed or seen, which we can now share in thanks to her words and the outstanding photographs by Pere Vivas.

“Sight is the sense of glory, for glory is the vision of God.
Sight is the sense of light, of space, of form.
Vision is immensity; it sees what is and what is not.”
