Leonardo Ricci: Cemetery extension, 1984–1994

  • Jesi, Italy, Show on map
  • #REL #Western Europe
  • The cemetery extension by Ricci gathers under itself various elements that hold an unusual fantastic sculptural quality. Especially in the area of the cemetery wall, constructions appear that play with the staging of static beams and imaginative shapes. In the north-west of the complex stands a gigantic pyramidal structure with terraced ascending superstructure, which is divided in the middle by two crooked-looking walls that frame a corridor on the ground level. The entire complex is crisscrossed by what appear to be optical curvatures caused by oblique design elements.

  • In use.
