Mario Gerosa (1963) studied architecture at the Politecnico in Milan,
graduating in 1987 with a thesis on the imaginary places described in A
la recherche du temps perdu, by Proust. He has always been fond of
imaginary architectures and in 1989, he created and he was the curator
of the exhibition ‘Proust au Grand Hotel de Balbec’ (Palazzo Sormani,
Milan), dedicated to the hotel described in A la recherche du temps
perdu. In 1991, he conceived the exhibition ‘Le camere del delitto. Gli
interni mentali di John Dickson Carr’ (Mysfest, Cattolica), dedicated to
the interiors of the thrillers linked to the ‘locked rooms murders’. In
2006, he wrote the ‘Convention for the protection of the virtual
architecture eritage’ (http://virtualarchitecturalheritage .blogspot.com)
and founded Synthravels (www.synthravels.com), the first tour
