Mausoleum of the Fosse Ardeatine
Nello Aprile; Aldo Cardelli; Cino Calcaprina; Mario Fiorentino; Giuseppe Perugini · Rome, Italy · 1949
The memorial is organized as a descent through the quarry landscape toward the massacre caves and a vast low concrete slab hovering above the tombs. Its power comes from procession, compression and weight rather than conventional monumentality, making it one of postwar Italy's most important memorial environments.
