Step into the beating heart of Jozi’s architectural soul, where Italian fire met SA steel in a 1960s modernist marvel, now a frozen fireworks of creativity lovingly guarded by power duo Lunetta Bartz and Warren Siebrits.
Edoardo Villa’s saga? Pure cinematic gold: Bergamo-born sculptor, hurled from art school bliss to WWII North African infernos, POW at Zonderwater camp—then?
He surrendered to SA’s vast skies and Jozi’s gritty industrial roar, ditching Italy forever.
