Papers, 1906-1957 | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Abstract:The bulk of the collection consists of personal papers, material related to Roberto Papini's activity as an architectural historian and as a professor at the University of Architecture in Florence. The other significant part is his correspondence. This section, arranged alphabetically by sender, reflects the wide range of contacts Papin held with architects and artists during the Fascist period and the 1950s. The collection also includes papers regarding Roberto Papini's second wife, the Hungarian-born sculptor Livia de Kuzmik. This smaller section includes some material related to her activity as a sculptor, and personal correspondence chiefly from her relatives from Hungary. Finally, it also includes a portfolio of 49 drawings, mainly studies of male and female nude models, and some preparatory studies for unidentified sculptures
