Opera di Demetrio Paernio eseguita per Carlotta Croce ed eredi di Giovanni Appiani nel 1910. La curiosità riguardo questo complesso funerario è l'essere apparso come copertina sull'album "Closer" dei Joy Division nel 1980. Albun uscito postumo, due mesi dopo la morte per suicidio di Jan Curtis fondatore della nota band punk Inglese....Durante la giovinezza era affascinato dalle opere decadenti dei poeti romantici ottocenteschi e da personaggi della musica rock come Jim Morrison, David Bowie e i Sex Pistols, ma in generale dalla musica punk. Sofferente di epilessia fotosensibile, negli ultimi anni di vita la sua malattia era diventata per lui un peso insostenibile e fu per questo che intorno ai vent'anni iniziò a soffrire anche di depressione cronica, che lo portò al suicidio. Gli U2 dedicarono a Curtis la canzone "A Day Without Me" dal loro primo album" Boy", che venne pubblicato di lì a pochi mesi, esattamente il 20 ottobre 1980.

Thank you once more, Paolo : for the wonderfully made photo and functional postproduction that tells well, and for mentioning joy division, which I love.
In their cover of the album "Closer", I add, the figure on the left was almost erased, as if to eliminate its consolation. A gloomy record that fore fore fore foreayed many things, but which decades later is eternal.
