Description

Explore the evolution of Italian funerary landscapes in Architecture, Death and Nationhood. This volume from the Ashgate Studies in Architecture examines how nineteenth-century Italian cities transformed their approach to burial. Following radical reforms in the 1740s that prohibited burials inside urban centers, new suburban burial grounds emerged across Europe. Unlike the landscaped gardens found elsewhere, Italy's cemeteries became unique monumental and architectural structures. These sites grew in scale and grandeur, eventually becoming major destinations for travelers on the Grand Tour. This book examines how these new building types responded to the momentous social and political changes occurring throughout Italy during this period. It is an essential resource for those studying the connection between urban planning, architectural history, and the shifting cultural views on death and national identity.

Key Features

Examines the transition from medieval church burials to suburban cemeteries following the 1740s European burial reforms.

Analyzes the unique architectural style of Italian cemeteries that favored monumental structures over simple landscaped gardens.

Provides historical context on how these massive burial grounds became significant destinations for travelers on the Grand Tour.

Part of the Ashgate Studies in Architecture series, offering academic depth for students and professionals.

Explores the relationship between new building types and the social changes occurring in nineteenth-century Italy.
