Distant bells from Tomba Brion
Oct 14, 2020, 10:34 AM
Visiting the Carlo Scarpa-designed Tomba Brion, we hear the sound of bells from a nearby town drifting across the fields gently to reach us.
Tomba Brion is a fascinating place: a sloped concrete enclosing wall, two distinct entrances, a small chapel, two covered burial areas, a dense grove of cypresses, a private meditation/viewing pavilion, separated from the main prato by a separate and locked entrance, and a reflecting pool. It's a highly-contemplative space for obvious reasons, which added a new depth to the sound of bells drifting across the sky.
