Letter to my daughter. Gio Ponti

Adorable and unique letters

This letter (not handwritten) was written by Italian architect Gio Ponti to his daughter Lisa Ponti. It was originally offset printed as an appendix to a book in the 1960s and has now been framed. The writing is clear and architecturally beautiful, and the opening is endearing and unique, perhaps because it was written to a daughter, making it seem more like a work of art than a letter. The same can be said for Ray Eames' letters. Since it's been about 60 years, the paper has faded a little, but this only adds to the atmosphere and makes it a truly wonderful piece.
