In a piece of modern art

The San Cataldo Cemetery in Modena, Italy, is one of the most interesting pieces of modern art. It was created in 1972 by architect Aldo Rossi. The structure takes the form of a bright orange cube with a grid of square windows adorning the exterior. The main purpose of Rossi’s design was to house remains and communal graves. Even with the number of art contests and awards won, the San Cataldo Cemetery never got to serve its true purpose. Even Rossi, who died in 1976, couldn’t find a suitable body box for himself.
