Summary: | The desire of the poet Gabriele d’Annunzio to renew his<br />birthplace in Pescara with a ‘makeover’ operation, was<br />made in 1921 by his brother-in-law, the engineer Antonino<br />Liberi, designer of numerous works. Towards the old house, that needed extraordinary and rather urgent maintenance work, the engineer proposed a series of internal changes necessary to improve the livability<br />of the environments, but also two facade solutions<br />that would have radically changed the appearance.<br />This paper intends to address, rather than the planned<br />works on the house, the way to communicate the restoration<br />project engineer Liberi, considering the graphics, the representation scales, the design method. Supporting<br />documents are deposited in the Archives of the Italian<br />Vittoriale and the State Archive of Pescara.
