Entrance to Brion Cemetery by Carlo Scarpa
The entryway represents the otherworldly architectural style of Carlo Scarpa, who used equally dramatic plant material to drape his concrete masterpiece (completed in 1978 before his accidental death). The Brion family founded Brionvega in 1945, an electronics manufacturing company. The cemetery is located at San Vito d’Altivole near Treviso, Italy.

Casa di Giulietta, Verona Italy. 

In Verona, a house claiming to be the Capulets’, has been turned into a landmark. It features the balcony, and in the small courtyard, a bronze statue of Juliet.

The metal on her chest is worn bare due to a legend that if a person strokes the breast of the statue, that person will have good fortune. 

A remake of the star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet, will be released in 2012.
