Riccitelli Cermignani Memorial

The project was designed with an attitude of respectful silence. The level of complexity was reduced until the essential grade of the form (the tomb, the pyramid). The two sarcophagi are designed as two simple prismatic, slightly 'warped' bodies, forming striped surfaces. They house the figures of Primo Riccitelli and Vincenzo Cermignani who represent two leading figures in the local and national and European panorama, they're two sons, two extraordinary men. The form of the crystal is combined with that of the sarcophagi drawing two primary geometries that literally seem to come from the earth. The glass, on which the two sarcophagi are as suspended, is a metaphor for life that seems light and sweet compared to the cumbersome death.
