50 pillars, 8 columns
The new intervention takes place behind the ancient cemetery enclosure, located at about two meters and a half bottom the country quote. The type and the character of the old building were so definite to influenced the project, that defines a court to three sides with a more compact front to the inferior level and a parvis to the superior level.
To guarantee conditions of checked light and natural ventilation for the burials of the reduced plan, among the columns of loculi, passing vertical spaces are interposed to all height. At the inferior level of the façade of the old building two openings were practiced to allow the direct passage among the two reduced courts. The verticality of the suspended cylinder and the horizontality of the ramp give tension to the court and they converse with the apse of the existing building.
