It’s very beautiful in the summer; the swallows fly by…This is the only work of mine I’m always happy to go see, because I feel like I have conquered the meaning of the countryside, just like the Brions wanted. Everyone goes there with plenty of fondness; the children play, the dogs run about: all cemeteries should be like this [...]
Carlo Scarpa, “A Thousand Cypresses” – lectio magistralis, Madrid 1978.

The San Vito di Altivole Mausuleum, one of the most well-known works by architect Carlo Scarpa, offers itself to the visitor as a modern “grief-processing machine”, a fundamental mechanism of which is the relationship with the local countryside, whose “meaning” the Venetian architect felt like he’d managed to capture.

The landscape represents a fundamental point of confrontation for Scarpa, whose design experiences place him in the same ballpark of the Veneto Reinassance artists – Bellini, Giorgione, Tiziano – who entrusted the landscape with a new and modern role.
We’d like to remind the reader about the important collaboration between Scarpa and Edoardo Gellner that realized itself inside the former Eni VIllage of Corte di Cadore (BL) in the Our Lady of the Cadore Church, another astounding experience of landscape design through architecture.

The Castelfranco altarpiece by Giorgione, found inside the funeral chapel of Matteo Costanzo, is among the works that best show this innovative landscape direction that Carlo Scarpa took to heart and developed inside the Brion Tomb.
