It seems to be very difficult to find some "good" architecture in italy, besides the fantastic but classic examples of a great history in architecture. If someone has some tips, names, and hints (of hidden architectural projects) it would be very nice. This because I'm planning a trip to Italy from the north downwards until rome. I'm looking now for some time on the www, and it seems italy is one big fossile... I presume this isn't correct. thanks in advance dries

We looked at a lot of Scarpa works. You might try looking at his architecture. He did a private cemetary that might be hard to find, but very detailed along with his other projects in Verona. If this helps any!
