Mausoleo Faccanoni, Eclectic mausoleum in Sarnico, Italy
The Mausoleo Faccanoni stands within the cemetery walls, featuring a pyramidal structure with grand flights of steps and a crypt entrance gate in bronze and iron.
Built in 1907, the mausoleum was commissioned by the Faccanoni family and designed by architect Giuseppe Sommaruga as part of their architectural projects in Sarnico.
The structure represents a departure from traditional Christian funerary architecture, incorporating minimal religious symbols while emphasizing monumental and secular design elements.
Located at Via Suardo in Sarnico, the mausoleum contains 34 burial chambers within its crypt and includes a small chapel for religious ceremonies.
The construction exclusively uses local materials, including Sarizzo from Val Seriana, Ceppo di Brembate stone, and Sarnico stone for different structural elements.
