San Cataldo Cemetery
Religious1984Modena, Italy
Rossi’s international signature: the square ossuary and blue-roofed arcades of Modena’s San Cataldo Cemetery.
A long construction, partly unfinished, treated the cemetery as urban type. The cube with empty window frames became an emblem of memory and typology.
Highlights
- Ossuary cube — How do empty openings abstract the building?
- Arcades — Does repeated walking make the cemetery feel like a city?
