The architectural topic of funeral home in Italy is quite recent: the first building was realized in Milan during 2006. The singularity of the subject and the lack of a typolgical tradition have encouraged during last ten years the construction of some buildings with an unclear, functional and architectural, programme. Also today we are very far to define a clear compositional typology, but we are more and more conscious about the importance to focalize attention toward some main elements, like paths and connection areas, which allow people to approach gradually the final goal of the last greeting. The project about the refurbishment of the Sant’Apollinare in Ronco church, nearby Bologna, into a funeral home, wants to underline the universal nature of the last greeting moment through specific design choices.References
