The Brion Family Tomb and the San Cataldo Cemetery in Modena are the portals to a stirring and highly symbolic journey into the visionary world of two 20thcentury architects, Carlo Scarpa and Aldo Rossi. The Brion mausoleum is a small single family ‘necropolis’ that prompts us to reflect on life and death. Aldo Rossi’s San Cataldo Cemetery is the house of the dead, an opus unfinished and abandoned.
