It is
with great pleasure that the Association Amici
del Monumentale announces the appearance of a new book, this time dedicated
to the works of Carlo Maciachini,
the architect of the Monumentale
Cemetery of Milan.
The
volume will be officially presented at Induno Olona, birthplace of the
architect, on February 2nd. Additional presentations will be held at
Varese, Milan, Pavia, Busto Arsizio and Trieste since they all host works
executed by him. Maciachini, un positivista
eclettico (Maciachini, an eclectic
positivist) is edited by Carla De Bernardi and Lalla Fumagalli, respectively
president and vice-president of the Amici del Monumentale, to celebrate the 200th
birth anniversary of the great architect (1818) and properly remember him on
the 120th anniversary of his death.
