Casa Malaparte (also Villa Malaparte) is a house on Punta Massullo, on the eastern side of the isle of Capri, Italy. It is considered to be one of the best examples of Italian modern and contemporary architecture.
The house was conceived around 1937 by the well-known Italian architect Adalberto Libera for Curzio Malaparte.[2] Malaparte, however, rejected Libera's design and went on to build the home himself with the help of Adolfo Amitrano, a local stonemason.
