We discovered you this cemetery original from 19th century, of which Italian team of architects Abdarchitetti have done its expansion. A clean and delicate work characterized by its simplicity, purity of Carrara's marble employed and the visual effect that create light open cracks in their walls and ceilings.

Memory of project
In addition to the court of a cemetery, designed in late XIX century by Carlo Maciachini, the architect of Milan monumental cemetery, a place heavily modified and expanded in different phases, and today characterized by very heterogeneous parts, we designed a newextension located in an interstitial space between the north side of the ancient precint wall and a very close green hill.
The project aims to solve, in this fragmented place, through a silent architecture, the relationship between the different components of exhisting architecture and landscape. In this phase has been built the first part of a new complete expansion which runs along side the north wall.
The project presents itself with a wall made with rifling Carrara marble signed by vertical thin windows placed with a harmonic rhythm. The wall is like a sort of suspended beam that closes, in a new way the precinct’s fourth side.
Architecture is identified by to differents spaces both available for burials: one at the basement, with an open porch separeted by an interval of 2,5 meters from the existing cemetery wall. The opening is due to the very close positions fromthe old cemetery wall providing to give natural light to the porch.
Upstairs, the gallery is south faced, with a closed wall that filter the light using vertical cuts to design the light on the wall. This cuts, placed with different distance one each others are in relation with the regular rhythm of the trimmings on the ceiling.

CAMILLO BOTTICINI - GIULIA DE APPOLONIA ABDARCHITETTI
ABDArchitetti was established in 2008 by the fusion of Camillo Botticini’s and Giulia de Appolonia’s architecture studios. This collaboration arises from a substratum of interests and similar education, taking advantage of the complementary formative paths and professional experiences, as well as a common interest on working abroad. On this research for a synthesis, a “reactive” architecture comes to life based on its conceptual content, giving birth to original and creative solutions.
Camillo Botticini was born in Brescia in 1965. He graduated in architecture from Milan Polytechnic University – facoltà di architettura, Politecnico di Milano – in 1990, under professor Sergio Crotti with whom he collaborated as an assistant for ten years. In 2003 he obtained his doctorate in research (Ph.D.) in Architectonic and Urban Design at the Milan Polytechnic University. His Dissertation was published by Clup Milano, entitled ‘Relazioni, progetto ed identità dell’architettura contemporanea’ and became an University professor at Milan Polytechnic University where he still teaches Urban Planning and Architectonic design. He began his professional career in 1991, collaborating with S. Crotti, G. Canali and G. Belotti. In 1993, opened his own private studio in Brescia.
Giulia de Appolonia was born in Pordenone, Italy in 1969. She enrolled the Faculty of Architecture, Milan Polytechnic University (Facoltà di architettura del Politecnico di Milano) in 1988. In 1991 was awarded the Erasmus study abroad scholarship to attend FAULT, Lisbon and in 1993 was awarded the Comett scholarship. She graduated in architecture with honors (cum laude) in 1994. She also collaborated for several years with Carrilho da Graça in Lisbon, where she had the opportunity to manage large scale projects for the public sector, developing works of great complexity and showing her coordination and management capacities as team leader.
