The Memorial seen up close: visits with specialists
Saturday October 17 at 11.00 a.m. Guided tour with Orietta Lanzarini
Orietta Lanzarini, Associate Professor of History of Architecture DIUM, University of Udine The Brion Memorial is a narrative that encapsulates the entire complexity of Carlo Scarpa’s thought and the secret to exploring it. The episodes that constitute the work actively participate in the exposition of a story rich in meanings. But which one? Certainly that of the Brion couple, who “struggled all their lives” and rest here, in the “two sarcophagi…in the sunniest part,” as a vital center of a place that celebrates the “sense of the countryside.” However, Scarpa also entrusts the Brion Tomb with an important educational task: to explain, to anyone who visits it, what his method of work was and the expressive tools - materials, light, color, water – of his unparalleled narratives
