This volume focuses the attention on one of Manuel Pauli’s earliest architectural projects in collaboration with August Volland and the artist Eva Pauli, which proved decisive for the career of both Manuel Pauli and Eva Pauli. The project for the I Grappoli Holiday Village at Sessa in Malcantone (1957-60) was bound up with the new way of seeing tourism and leisure that developed after World War II, being characterised by a profound drive towards social and cultural reconstruction. It was one of the first holiday villages in Italianspeaking Switzerland to feature a modern architectural vocabulary, commissioned by the VPOD trade union in Zurich.
