Abstract

It was 1968 when Carlo Scarpa was commissioned for the basement project at the monument to the “Partigiana Veneta” by the artist Augusto Murer (Falcade 1922 - Padova 1985). Situated on the shore of the gardens of Venice, the work represents a surpassing of the concept of monument as a memory. Scarpa’s work can be described as “experimenting” on the next masterpiece of the Brion tomb where the concept of conjugal love and memory carries unstoppable spatiality. The work is a ritual that is renewed several times a day and in its renewal and showing in an ever-changing way creates an ever-new.
