Brion Tomb is a monumental funeral
complex, located along the original border of the small cemetery of
St
. Vitus
of Altivole (TV). It was designed and built by the architect
Carlo Scarpa
commissioned by
Onorina Brion Tomasin, to honor the memory of the late and
beloved relative
Giuseppe Brion
,
founder and owner of
Brionvega
and
to preserve his remains there. The complex was erected between
1970
and
1978
, the year in which the architect died. He himself wanted to be
buried in this place, in a secluded position with respect to the complex
monumental. Brion Tomb is a work that surprises for its careful research
of form
graphic and decorative, an “express form
that becomes poetry” as Scarpa
Called. A place that has the anguishing sense of oblivion while being
surrounded by death.
