Joseph Beuys and Lucrezia De Domizio - De Rerum Natura is a book written by Emanuel Dimas de Melo Pimenta, architect, urban planner, photographer and composer who collaborated with John Cage and Merce Cunningham over many years. The book is a collection of 33 texts written by Pimenta over 30 years of collaboration in mutual projects with Lucrezia De Domizio, Baroness Durini. The book reveals not only many traces of Beuys' works and thought, not known by people in general, but also details of the intense collaboration of the Italian Baroness and the German artist. The book also counts with rare photos, some of them made by the Baron Durini, Lucrezia's husband, a scientist who was friend of Beuys. Invited by Baron and Baroness Durini, Joseph Beuys lived part of his last years of life in the Italian mountains, in Abruzzo, at a small house in a medieval village called Bolognano. Beuys' life in Italy is also the subject of Pimenta's book - a celebration of Beuys' hundred years.
