Viola’s comission
"Fue el 15 de Junio de 1767 cuando Cosimo Piovasco di Rondó, mi hermano, se sentó por última vez entre nosotros. Lo recuerdo como si fuera hoy. Estábamos en el comedor de nuestra villa de Ombrosa, las ventanas enmarcaban las tupidas ramas del gran acebo del parque. Era mediodía, y nuestra familia, siguiendo una antigua tradición, se sentaba a la mesa a esa hora, pese a que ya cundía entre los nobles la moda, llegada de la poca madrugadora Corte de Francia, de almorzar a media tarde. Soplaba un viento del mar, recuerdo, y se movían las hojas."
Selección de trabajos de estudiantes del Taller 5 de la Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Valencia, resolviendo un encargo realizado por Viola, la hermana de Cósimo. (Curso 2014-2015)
