The Brion Tomb, designed by Carlo Scarpa and located in San Vito d’Altivole, Treviso, Italy, is a poignant commemorative monument for the Brion family. Constructed between 1968 and 1979, it features Venetian and Japanese design elements over its 2,200 m² area. The site includes a meditation pavilion, chapel, and the twin sarcophagi of Giuseppe and Onorina Brion, symbolizing their enduring bond. Scarpa’s use of concrete, mosaic, and bronze highlights his architectural brilliance. Recently conserved in 2021, the tomb was donated to the Italian Environmental Fund in 2022.
