Carlo Scarpa designed Bice Lazzari's tomb in Quero
The tomb of Italian artist Bice Lazzari (1900–1981) in Quero, province of Belluno, was designed by her brother-in-law, architect Carlo Scarpa. The family sepulcher of the Lazzari-Rinaldo family is made of light stone, divided by a long cut separating different volumes, with typographic characters forming an abstract line game. Lazzari, a musician and artist, met Scarpa in 1927 when her abstract drawings were exhibited at the III International Biennial of Decorative Arts in Monza. She collaborated with Ernesto Lapadula on the Palazzo della Civiltà Italiana at EUR and later worked for Giò Ponti in Milan. Her tomb is located in the small cemetery of Quero, which also houses the large German Mausoleum built in 1939 for 3,465 WWI casualties.
